Acknowledgments:
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Michael Diamond for his generous advice and scientific direction, and for welcoming me warmly into his lab. I also would like to thank the members of the Diamond lab for their kind support, encouragement, and welcome over the past three years. My special thanks to Dr. Katherine Basore of the Fremont Lab for direction on key receptor interaction residues, Dr. Hongming Ma for protocol direction and materials, as well as Dr. Emily Madden and Dr. Ofer Zimmerman for experimental procedure discussions. Importantly, I could not have carried out this project without the scientific discussions, generous teaching spirit, good humor, and ever-patient guidance of Natasha Kafai. Not only has she taught me how to approach experimental design and thinking, performing experiments, and analyzing results, but her unfailing positivity and diligence have been a continuous source of inspiration for me. I feel extremely fortunate to have the gift of her mentorship. I would also like to thank Dr. Michael Diamond and the Washington University Office of Undergraduate Research for supporting my research during the summer of 2021. I thank Natasha Kafai and Dr. Michael Diamond for their review of this thesis. Finally, I extend my heartfelt thanks to my friends and family for their constant support and encouragement over the past few years.
