Assisted graduate students in chemical assays that measured the force produced via muscle contractions in muscle baths. These assays measured the effect of propranolol and insulin in the recovery of the skeletal muscle. Also took anatomical measurements of the fossa ovalis in swine hearts. Assisted graduate students in other studies involving animal research. Assisted graduate students in chemical assays that measured the force produced via muscle contractions in muscle baths.
