      Objective of Research: I am studying how the neurovascular system is impacted by the onset of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). My role is to collect data from different organisms of varying ages and genotypes so that we can understand how to better repair or prevent key neurovascular functions from degradation. • Assist Principal Investigator by doing blinded qualitative analysis of microscope LED scans of mice neurovascular systems data, per specified standards, on a weekly basis • Organize and communicate findings through Excel sheets; discuss implications of data with lead researcher • Generate graphs and charts, using MATLAB and Fiji, for research papers and grant applications • Shadow animal surgeries and imaging experiments to study degradation rate of blood vessels in the brain and their correlation to AD • Construct and present professional research presentations explaining topic of study, my question, method, results, and applied it to future experiments • Present analyzed data in full lab team meetings • Engage in discussions in full lab team meetings on a weekly basis about science happening in and out of the lab Show less

      Objective of Research: The research that I did in this lab focused on the creation of logic gates in the plant species, Arabidopsis. By creating successful gates, we can connect them in a manner where we can make complex systems. Different environmental stimuli can provide different signals to these plants and the phenotype will change accordingly. • Conducted experiments independently to create logic gates in Arabidopsis for agricultural growth • Maintained consistent collection schedule for ongoing Arabidopsis specimen research • Prepared and collected samples of Arabidopsis for lead researcher to use in experiments • Analyzed data to identify location and amount of gene signaling present in Arabidopsis using technologies such as Tecan, Gel Electrophoresis, and LED Microscopes • Presented my experiments to research team, received constructive feedback, and applied it to future endeavors Show less
