CAMPUS EXPERIENCE
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT GENESEO Geneseo, New York
Exp. May 2021
Research Analyst
Researched 8+ hours a week with Dr. Robert O’Donnell on antigen expression experiments involving the 435 Melanoma cancer cell line
Performed weekly maintenance to cultivate cancer cell cultures for the 435-cell line to be utilized in valuable observations and experiments
Goals: To test the effects of epigenetic modifiers such as Gamma Interferon, Vorinostat, and 5-AZA on the expression of HLA-ABC in a Melanoma cancer cell line
Identified the relative amounts of HLA expression compared to the controls because of exposure to epigenetic modifiers utilizing flow cytometry experiments
Hypothesis: The addition of Gamma Interferon to 5-Azacyidine and Vorinostat treatment would increase HLA expression rather than with just Vorinostat and 5-Azacyidine alone.
Discovered: I found that Gamma Interferon, Vorinostat and 5-Azacytidine increased upregulation of HLA-ABC expression when treated alone. The combination of 5-Azacytidine with Gamma Interferon, or Vorinostat with Gamma Interferon did not increase HLA-ABC expression, and therefore my hypothesis was not support
Subsequent analyses currently in progress involve finding
