Experience

Currently taking 7.05/5.07 (Biochemistry)

Do you have any experience culturing cells (mammalian, yeast or microbial)?
Yes

Do you have any experience in molecular biology (electrophoresis, PCR, etc)?
Yes

Previous Laboratory Experience:

I am currently in a BE UROP in the Zhang Lab. I have been working on expression and purification of thermophilic DNA-binding proteins and assessing their uses in PCR.

Optional: As mentioned in lecture on 02.06.07, we would like you to consider how, as a biological engineer you might test the superstition "Spit on a bat before using it for the 1st time to make it lucky." From a bioengineering approach, I would statistically find out how often spit made bats lucky. If this occured to a significant degree, I would take the spit and analyze the substances in it to see if I could design and produce another substance that could make the bat even luckier.
