Photodynamic Therapy
I found a home with Dr. Graça Vicente's research group in my junior year. After investigating carborane porphyrins for use with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), I began my own independent project. This later became the basis for my Honors College Thesis, titled "Synthesis of Di-substituted Tetrabenzoporphyrins with Polyamine Conjugates for use with Photodynamic Therapy."
Research PaperThis research paper was done for an independent research course (Chem 3900), which is the basis for my Honors Thesis.

Research PresentationThis research presentation was shown at Rice University at the Regional Undergraduate Chemistry and Biochemistry & Cell Biology Symposium on Oct. 20, 2012, where I was an invited speaker.
