Below are publications I have authored (with description of my role), three slide decks I made and presented for internal or external meetings, two posters I designed and presented for international conferences, and selected graphical abstracts and models I have made for manuscripts.

Graphics
Proposed model for the molecular function of VCP at the mitotic to meiotic shift. I made this model for a manuscript published in Development in 2023.
Graphical representation of the function of a FRET-based sensor of TORC1 activity that I made for a grant proposal submitted to the American Federation on Aging Research.
Graphical abstract depicting the major findings of a manuscript published in iScience in 2022.
Proposed model for the function of lysosome in spematocytes and how their decline in function with age affects spermatocytes. I made this model for a manuscript published in iScience in 2022.
