Title: Evaluation of Toxicity of Lunar and Martian Regolith on Skin Microbiome-Relevant Bacteria
Role: Presenter / Lead Researcher
Presented at: Embry-Riddle Discovery Day, 2024

This project focused on how simulated lunar and Martian regoliths affect bacteria found in the human skin microbiome. I designed and conducted microbiology assays to assess bacterial viability and toxic response, bridging human health with planetary exploration.
