09/2013 to 11/2014
Research AssistantPenn State University – University Park , PA
  • Collected and analyzed biological data about the effects of environmental stress, depression and diabetes on host-associated gut flora.
  • Performed wet-lab microbiology research experiments using methods including DNA extraction and purification and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
  • Interpreted results by an assessment of the microbial community and summarized data into biweekly reports.
  • Maintained sterile laboratory conditions and sparsely contaminated samples using aseptic technique.
  • Participated in monthly scientific publication readings with contributing research colleagues and leaders.

While assisting in Dr.Robinson's lab, I was required to preform DNA extractions from fecal samples collected from mice and the coeloem of moths exposed to stress.  Using microbial databases to match the DNA from samples, we were able to assess changes in microbial flora in response to stress. Most animals rely on their microbial communities for various health functions. Thus, mice and moths are used as model systems to elucidate the interactions between hosts and their microbial communities. Normal bacteria in the microbiota such as Lactobacillus and Myobacterium were studied specifically.??
