I work in the Dahlquist Lab at Loyola Marymount University. I learned about OpenWetWare from from Dr. Dahlquist, and I've joined to work with Dr. Dahlquist on her research.
Education
- BS in Biomathematics expected in Spring 2012.
- Upper Division Courses in Biology, Mathematics and Chemistry
- Microbiology and Lab
- Biochemistry (this semester)
- Partial Differential Equations
- Introduction to Probability and Statistics
- Advanced Probability and Statistics (this semester)
- Complex Analysis (this semester)
- Biomathematics (this semester)
Career Interests and Goals
I am interested in pursuing a Masters Degree in Nursing
Biology and Mathematics
- My favorite aspect of biology is that it has many branches of learning. It can be seen everywhere and I believe that is the reason why so many people are interested in this subject. It can be broken down to whatever your favorite aspect is and you are guaranteed that there is enough information on that topic to get a PhD.
- My favorite aspect of mathematics is the problem-solving skills one learns when learning mathematics. Mathematics is also everywhere, it's just not as obvious to many people. Mathematics is a beautiful subject that can solve complex problems in other fields of learning.
Concerns
The one concern I have about the course is working on a Journal Club. I have worked with them before and from experience I can say that more than 90% of the time I do not understand the material. It is very dense in biology and the vocabulary is hard to understand. I do not feel that I have taken enough upper division biology to understand more than half of the material. I feel the same way as for the mathematically based papers that I have read in the past.
Research interests
- Mathematical modeling of gene regulatory networks in yeast.
