  With guidance from my PI, I was part of a research project "Deletion of the Interleukin 10 Receptor in B lymphocytes increases TLR 4-mediated production of IL-10". After analysis of scientific literature, we devised a hypothesis for the regulation of Interleukin 10, an anti-inflammatory protein that could serve as a therapeutic aid in various diseases such as cancer, asthma, and lupus. During my time there, I learned how to read and analyze scientific literature, learned various lab techniques,… Show more With guidance from my PI, I was part of a research project "Deletion of the Interleukin 10 Receptor in B lymphocytes increases TLR 4-mediated production of IL-10".

During my time there, I learned how to read and analyze scientific literature, learned various lab techniques, and gave journal club presentations to PhDs, Doctors, and Medical Students, teaching me the value and importance of research in the medical field.

  The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between accessible reminders, magnetic reminder cards, and post-surgery outcomes of heart failure patients. My role was to shadow a nurse and conduct rounds to recruit patients for the study. We would greet patients, check if they matched the criteria of the study, and inform them if they wished to participate in the clinical study. If they did, we would conduct a lengthy survey collecting demographic, health history, and lifestyle… Show more The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between accessible reminders, magnetic reminder cards, and post-surgery outcomes of heart failure patients.

We would greet patients, check if they matched the criteria of the study, and inform them if they wished to participate in the clinical study. If they did, we would conduct a lengthy survey collecting demographic, health history, and lifestyle information. I would then input the data into a patient data base, organize materials to make them easily accessible, and update information on a daily basis.

  Through a Nord Grant Dr. Meyer sought to make general chemistry more interesting and interactive. The goal was to find chemistry demonstrations to align with weekly general chemistry lessons for three different courses. Me and another UTA, researched relevant chemical demonstrations, practiced the experiments twice before performing them in front of lectures, and created a manual for Dr. Meyer to follow in the subsequent years.
