Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
I am currently working in Dr. Karren Echeverri's laboratory as I learn new and improve previous laboratory techniques by helping my mentor study the regenerative mechanisms involved in the spinal cord regeneration of the Ambystoma mexicanum (Axolotl).
Helped my graduate mentor in Dr. Kai Griebenow's Biochemistry laboratory with her research on developing an amperometric biosensor for the detection of phenolic derivative compounds using Horseradish peroxidase. My work consisted in data management and recompilation, multi-tasking computerized programs and strict weekly work plans.
Presented research findings in the development of an amperometric biosensor for the detection of phenolic derivative compounds using Horseradish peroxidase as the biological component.
During these two months, I helped start off an innovative project in Dr. Samuel Hernandez's Physical Chemistry lab developing a laser based biosensor for the detection of Histamine concentrations in tuna. My roles in this program involved data management and recompilation, seminars on the proper use of computer programs such as; Excel, Powerpoint and Prezi, and biweekly 2 hour seminars on ethics, lab conduct, lab safety, organization, etc.
