Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
I currently work at the Vacanti Tissue Engineering Lab of the Massachusetts General Hospital. My project consists on testing the effects of Dentin Matrix Phosphoprotein I (DMPI) on human MSCs (inducing differentiation and matrix formation) to evaluate if DMPI would enhance synthetic bone scaffolds by making them osteoinductive.
I am really excited for the work we will be doing in the three modules and I am especially looking forward to the third module.
What music do you...
Like? Pop. Latin Rock.
Tolerate? Most.
Despise? Hard metal rock. Country.
Would you want to hear music in lab sometimes, or do you prefer to work without it? Yes
