Scientific Analysis

Along with a lifelong love of writing, I cultivated a deep curiosity for the sciences. This enduring interest led me to pursue research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My contributions encompassed diverse mental and physical research, spanning literature review, writing, analysis, charting, and data collection. Beyond research, I have substantial experience teaching science and STEM at the middle school level and Teaching Assistant experience at the Graduate Level.

Scientific papers resulting from my research collaboration at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Increased Prevalence of Transglutaminase 6 Antibodies in Sera From Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia Bulletin vol. 39
Personal contribution:
Statistical analysis and charting

Gluten can cause extraintestinal manifestations with or without gastrointestinal symptoms and elevated antitissue transglutaminase 2 (tTG2) autoantibodies. Organ-specific gluten reaction involves immune response toward other transglutaminase (TG) isoforms including tTG3 (expressed in the skin, leading to dermatitis herpetiformis) and tTG6 (expressed in the brain, causing gluten ataxia)...

The epidemiology of the autoimmune diseases is underdeveloped because they are usually studied one by one, or in groups based on the organ system that is affected by the autoimmune process [1], although there is at least one systematic review collecting together the results of disparate studies of separate diseases [2].

Prevalence of Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity in the United States Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness Study Population

Schizophrenia Bulletin vol. 37
Personal contribution:

Statistical analysis and charting 

ResizedArticle_Science-3_Thumbnails.jpg

Celiac disease (CD) and schizophrenia have approximately the same prevalence, but epidemiologic data show higher prevalence of CD among schizophrenia patients. The reason for this higher co-occurrence is not known, but the clinical knowledge about the presence of immunologic markers for CD or gluten intolerance in schizophrenia patients may have implications for treatment...
