  • Jun 2016 - Sep 2016

  My time with the Hooper Lab was spent investigating ways to induce a Th1 type response intracranially through an attenuated cell line of gliobastoma multiforme (GBM) in order to treat this 100% fatal disease. Became proficient in several laboratory techniques, including growing and splitting of cells, intracranial and superficial injections into mice, euthanizing of mice through trans-cardial perfusion, and using ELISA methods to analyze results.

  Worked at Martin Luther King Jr. School #9 for the school year. Assisted in five separate classrooms, grades K-3. Activities included tutoring basic math, reading and writing, as well as one on one anger management/communication skills. By working with a diverse group of youths from various socioeconomic backgrounds, I was able to gain a better understanding of why many youths drop out of school in the Rochester School District.
