I am working on a time released drug delivery system for drugs that promote neuron differentiation. I optimized the protocol for applying a variety of different lipid encapsulated drugs to PC12 (mammalian) cells, monitoring them for 4-8 days and analyzed the changes in differentiation.

laboratory experience

I am working on a time released drug delivery system for drugs that promote neuron differentiation. I optimized the protocol for applying a variety of different lipid encapsulated drugs to PC12 (mammalian) cells, monitoring them for 4-8 days and analyzed the changes in differentiation.

This summer I worked on a microfluidic device for monitoring blood clotting via monotering light transmission. I calculated the final clot volume formed in the device using a combination of brightfield and confocal images. I wrote a custom matlab script to process the confocal images and calculate a density from each z stack.
