  This involved meeting with University researchers for laboratory skills sessions and then going on to do a project in the labs. In the spring term of my second year I undertook a project looking at the effects of pyroglutamate and glutamate on root growth. I gained a feel of what a plant science and molecular biology lab is like in terms of aseptic technique, monitoring plant growth, measuring roots on imagej and making up stock solutions. I also presented my project findings to the plant science and molecular biology research group. Show less

  I worked for a week in the biochemistry lab in LEC on their RUBISCO activase project. This involved creating a Bradford assay to make a calibration curve, gel electrophoresis to separate the B1 and B2 isoforms of RUBISCO activase and the use Western blotting to determine the relative absorbances of the isoforms in various samples.
