Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator Amy Guan ’12 is taking the research world by storm, performing cutting-edge research with super-charged fluorescent proteins in the lab of MCB Professor David...
According to Guan, part of the theory behind her research, discovered by members of the lab team she works with, is that proteins that are not water-soluble tend to clump together, thereby diminishing the ability of each protein to function. When the residues of these GFP proteins are positively charged, however, they have the ability to penetrate cell walls. Additionally, these super-charged proteins demonstrated the ability to carry nucleic, and even genomic, material into cells if the material was negatively charged...
Carlos C. Becerril ’10 recalls working late in the lab, analyzing the transmission of drug-resistant...
...that I look back, I’m happy that I spent as much time in the lab as I did,” Becerill says. “It showed me that if you put the work into it, you can really accomplish something...
Several Botswanans work in Essex’s lab, which is located next door to the capital city’s main hospital, and Essex is quick to emphasize that his facility is not meant to provide care for area residents, but to conduct research...
