  Was involved in two projects. The first project involved AKT Regulation, AGC kinases and the Kreb's cycle in the Pengda Liu lab. Another project involved assessing high-risk kinase motif mutations in various signaling proteins using cancer patient data. Techniques used: PCR, western blotting, mammalian cell culture, DepMap, Uniprot, Microsoft Excel. Was involved in two projects.

  In the first half of the year, I worked with Dr. Leslie Hicks to characterize the extended kinase domain of the Target of Rapamycin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In the second half of the year, I worked to synthesize safer, renewable photoredox catalysts for Dr. David Nicewicz and his lab to further test.
