Have you taken
7.05/5.07 (Biochemistry) - YES 7.06 (Cell Biology) - NO 7.02 (General Biology Lab) - NO 5.310 (General Chemistry Lab) - NO
Do you have any experience culturing cells (mammalian, yeast or microbial)?
YES
Do you have any experience in molecular biology (electrophoresis, PCR, etc)?
YES
Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
In high school, I did a lot of biochemistry research. When I arrived at MIT, I worked at the Langer Lab doing tissue engineering research, specifically with regards to the osteogenic stem cell line. Finally, throughout my sophomore year, I worked in the Hamad-Schifferli lab designing temperature-sensitive biomedical devices for drug delivery.
Anything else you would like us to know?
I am really excited to be in this class! Although I have already had significant experience working in lab, I would really like to diversify the types of research that I do since I haven't really found a "passion" in any of the work that I've done in the past. I am also very enthusiastic about improving my oral/writing skills since it is something that I have always struggled with in the past.
