George Washington University Hospital Washington, DC
Volunteer Patient Experience 9/2014 – Present
Assist Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department by serving coffee, refreshments, and delivering flowers to patients
Assist Pathology Department by collecting, registering, and delivering specimen at appropriate locations. Specimen Accessioning and processing. ( Laboratory receiving) is the section of the laboratories where specimens are received, sorted, entered into the laboratory information System labelled with barcoded labels and processed. Processing a specimen may include mixing the specimen to ensure that all the components are evenly distributed throughout the sample or spinning the specimen in a centrifuge to separate the serum/ plasma layer from the red cells. Once the processing step has been completed, the specimens are forwarded on to the various divisions of pathology and laboratory Medicine for testing.

Research Assistant: PCR: reaction goes through 3 steps.1- Strand Separation or denation, the two strands of the parent DNA molecule are separated by heating the solution to 95 degree for 15 seconds. 2- Hybridization or annealing of two oligounclaotide primers ( one is a reverse primer and the other is a forward primer).The solution is quickly coded to 54 degree to the primer anneal to a DNA strand. One primer anneal to the 3 end of the target ( template strand) While the other primer anneals to the end of complementary target strand. Then each copy will be the template in the next cycle. This primer annealing also depends on the melting temp (Tm) of the primer.3- DNA synthesis or elongation or extension. The solution is then heated to 72 degree the optimal temperature for Tag DNA polymerase. This is a polymerase from a thermophilic bacterium, thermos aguaticus, which liver in hot springs. The polymerase elongates both primers in the direction of the target sequence because DNA synthesis is in 5to 3 direction. DNA synthesis continues on both strands and continues beyond the target sequence ( Berg et al .149-150).All 3 steps above are considered as one cycle; it takes about 25-40 cycles in order to amplify DNA template. The number of cycles depends on the amount of DNA available and how much PCR product you want to yield. Cell Culture: DMEM, Dulbecco,s modified Eagle Medium, DMEM/F12, Dulbecco,s, Modified Eagle medium: Nutrient mixture F-12, F-10 Nutrient mixture. Ham;s F-12 Nutrient mixture, and many more. It depends on Gibco products that meet all of your media needs.
Running gel DNA: 1-Break open ( lyse) .the cells or virus containing the DNA of interest. This is often done by sonicating or bead beating the sample vortexing with phenol (sometimes heated is often effective for breaking down protienacious cellular walls or viral capsids. The addition of a detergent such as SDS is often necessary to remove lipid membranes.2- DNA associated proteins, as well as other cellular proteins, may be degraded with the addition of a protease. Precipitation of the protein is aided by the addition of a salt such as ammonium or sodium acetate.When the sample is vortexed with phenol-chloroform and centrifuged the proteins will remains in the organic phase and can be drawn off carefully. The DNA will be found at the interface between the two phases.3- DNA is the precipitated by mixing with cold ethanol or isopropanol and then centrifuging. The DNA is insoluble in the alcohol and will come out of solution, and the alcohol serves as a wash to remove salt previously added.4- Wash the resultant DNA pellet with cold alcohol again centrifuge for retrieval of the pellet.5- After pouring the alcohol off the pellet and drying, the DNA can be re- suspended in a buffer such as tris or TE.6- Presence of DNA can be confirmed by electrophonresing on an agarose gel containing ethidium bromide, or another fluorescent dye that reacts with the DNA, and checking under UV light.
