Retrotransposon activity is an agent of somatic mutations linked to aging, health, and lifespan deregulation of asymmetric cell division. Loss of asymmetric cell division has been shown to alter or eliminate stem cell populations, trigger disease states and accelerate aging. My dissertation research examined host response to environmentally triggered retrotransposon activation, which I found to correlate with the perturbation of asymmetric cell division. My responsibilities include:
• Collaborated in writing research proposals and reporting for NIH and NSF grants
• Characterized genetic interactions between a retrotransposon and host
• Data collected using confocal and widefield fluorescent microscopy, fluorescent recovery after photobleaching, and retrotransposition assays to detect the frequency of retrotransposition events
• Trained colleagues to design, perform, troubleshoot, and interpret experiments
• Lab management including the ordering of supplies and completion of quarterly reports
Co-Mentor, Research Experience for Undergraduates Program 06/2014-present Teaching undergraduate students molecular biology research in biomedical science during the summer REU program, including:
• Scientific writing, public speaking, and presentation skills
• Essential lab skills and use of equipment, software, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and imaging
• Experimental design, assay development, and application thereof to answer specific scientific questions
• Assessment of results and troubleshooting when required
• Data collection, analysis, and interpretation
• Fluorescent microscopy imaging
Questar III, Research Institute for Science Teachers Co-mentor 06/15-08/2016 Co-mentored high school science teachers in basic experimental design and research laboratory skills for molecular genetics to incorporate into their teaching repertoire, including:
• Presentation of research and results in publication, presentations, and public speaking
• Essential lab skills and use of equipment and software
• Detection of genetic interactions
• Hypothesis-driven experimental design, assay development, and application
• Assessment of results and troubleshooting when required
• Data collection, analysis, and interpretation of results S. Patrick Murphy
