Dr. Elaine Sia 's Life And Accomplishments

Kendall’s experience as a researcher is not the only thing which makes her the amazing person she is today. She has experienced so many different work environments that it is mind-boggling. Dr. Kendall was a waitress while attending high school, was chair of a Senate Executive Committee, and taught math to prisoners. Through participating in so many different kinds of work opportunities, Dr. Kendall was able to realize that her true passion lay in the field of biochemistry. The first pull towards science was evident in the books that interested her as a child. And one might even say that her parents were what helped to ignite that spark for her thirst for knowledge in the field of biochemistry. Those science coloring books from Filene’s Basement department store and the Time Life science book series that her mother bought her are a very important part of Dr. Kendall’s early inspiration, and it is clear to anyone who listens to her talk that she loves doing research and helping young people figure out what they should do with their

Scientific work, I quickly came to realize, is humbling; it leads to introspection in its most fundamental form. My narrative is not one of defeat, but is rather one of ongoing failure. And this distinction is crucial to pinpoint: my mosquito bites are not signals of loss and finality, but are rather reminders that I am riding the constructive movement of scientific progress. It is only through the intellectual and ethical connections we form after learning from our many failures and building on occasional breakthroughs that we can understand the power of science and human collaboration. My growing number of personal failures, coupled with the knowledge of the long trajectory of my predecessors in their respective successes and failures, leave me with scars left from bug bites that have me constantly itching with a renewed faith in the scientific

What was expected that the strains of E. coli that did not have a resistance to ampicillin would not grow. The transformed strain also changed to a blue color when the X-gal was present in plate. The transformed cells also grew because they were free of the ampicillin because they possessed the amp gene that they used as an shield against the ampicillin antibiotic. The transformed cell who turned blue did so because the gene converted the sugar to a blue color but also contained the amp gene to ensure that they grew even when the ampicillin was present. The growth of the colonies on the plates

This article caught my eye because I recently finished a book by the same author, Lab Girl by Hope Jahren. Her memoir detailed how she became a research biogeochemist, and how the struggles she faced have never stopped. Completing the necessary education was easy for her, but receiving the funding to sustain herself, her lab, and her employees is still a challenge.

I mentored Mrs. Shepard during the time that she taught the general biology laboratory course. Ms. Shepard was always willing to help when students had questions. She would often

Dr. Ava Morrow received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Morgan State University in 1980 and in the same year, began her career at Gallaudet University, working in the biology department as a laboratory technician. She majored in microbiology at Howard University and earned a Master of Science degree (1988) and a Ph.D. (2004). After completing her master’s degree, Dr. Morrow become an instructor in the biology department at Gallaudet. She retired from Gallaudet in January 2013, as a full professor of microbiology, after completing 32 years of service at Gallaudet. Dr. Morrow is a passionate advocate who promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by speaking to elementary, middle

In June of 2011, a woman entered the National Institutes of Health Research Hospital in Bethesda Maryland with a serious, but fairly routine infection; however the subsequent events were to prove anything but routine. The woman was suffering from an infection caused by an antibiotic-resistant organism, but it was a new strain, never before encountered. About a month after she was treated and discharged, another patient came down with the same infection, and then more and more. After many unsuccessful attempts to isolate the cause of the infections, the NIH eventually used a new technology, known as "Whole Genome Sequencing," to isolate the pattern of infection and bring it under control. (Melissa Block, Eddie Cornish) This process is a new way to quickly isolate and sequence the entire genome of a particular organism, which the NIH used to help identify the pattern of infection. Of the 17 other patients who contracted the infection, six died, but it was learned that the pathogen can be transmitted in ways never before seen. (Melissa Block, Eddie Cornish)

Along with this, he volunteers at a local hospital in the city, helping to improve the Calgary community. Science and biology have been an integral part of his entire life and have served as a source of inspiration. Over this past year, iGEM has provided him with the chance to further explore the field of synthetic biology along with connecting him with like minded people and peers.

I have wanted to be a doctor since I was very young, but my experiences in the classroom and the laboratory have introduced me to a field that I never considered before. I would like to participate in the Chemistry and Biochemistry REU at Georgia Tech to develop and learn laboratory skills. Participating in this program will ultimately help me decide whether I would like to pursue a career as a doctor or a researcher. My interest in research has thus far been oncology, which is very broad leading to my interest in areas of research, including infectious diseases, bioremediation, biotechnology, and biochemistry. Taking a class in genetics and learning about the different methods of sequencing and exploring the effects of mutations has also contributed to my interest in research in molecular genetics. For these reasons, working with the guidance of faculty like Wendy Kelly, who conducts research in biosynthetic engineering would be very enlightening. Kelly’s research analyzes enzymes in their role in constructing proteins in antibiotics to manipulate their roles to facilitate anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Conducting a project under Kelly’s aid would allow me to indulge my interest in cancer research and increase my knowledge of cancer treatment by providing me with the opportunity to analyze and test the activity and functions of a natural process. Taking on a project with Wendy Kelly in an area that is in the process of uncovering answers to cancer therapies would not only help me to develop my knowledge of synthesis of medicinal products, but it would also provide me with the chance to experience the research timeline in regards to gathering information and yielding a product. Adegboyega Yomi Oyelere is another faculty member who I would like to participate in a research project with. Oyelere conducts research on biological processes of diseases to ultimately

· Be able to describe how antibiotic resistant genes are able to transfer, and identify the transformed cells that are antibiotic resistant

It came as a shock to everyone and it was especially devastating for my sister. However, she tackled her diabetes with composure just as she had with the other challenges she had faced before. Seven years later, I see her continually having to monitor her blood sugar levels. The perpetual prick of her glucose monitor is a constant reminder of the sting that she experiences everyday. It is an aggravation that no one should have to endure. One of my life aspirations is to develop an extensive scientific knowledge of biochemistry in order to one day relieve my sister and people around the world of the burden of diabetes. Ever since I was a child, I have been drawn to the sciences and to the study of mathematics. In secondary school, I was able to pursue that passion in the form of higher level math and science. I would like to apply that same enthusiasm to the field of biochemistry and in doing so, learn more about the field of genetics and how it could be used to further our understanding of medical science. I would like to utilize the tremendous resources and facilities that the University of Denver has to offer and I would relish the opportunity to further my passion for
