Evaluation Of A Research Technician At The Center For Epigenetic Research

Since my coursework has ended, I have continued to volunteer at an urgent care clinic, while also looking for work. I am hoping to find a job position at one of the many hospitals in Oklahoma City or with a research team at the University of Oklahoma. Depending on financial standing, I may also enroll in one class in the fall semester to stay fresh academically and build upon existing knowledge.

If you have already received your bachelor 's degree, please describe what you have been doing since graduation, and your plans for the upcoming year. (700 characters)

Lastly, I plan to continue working with Champions for Learning. I want to mentor a child and discuss my career during a lab session.

My major is Human Development. I am taking 13 units for this fall 2015, and volunteering at Horizon Cross Cultural Center where I can learn my skills and my experiences. My future plan is graduate in the Spring of 2017. After graduation, I plan to work full-time.

I understand having these goals without a plan makes them nothing but a wish. Therefore, upon graduation this May, I anticipate spending the summer pursuing my EMT Certification. This will broaden my medical knowledge base and allow me an opportunity to work within the medical field while pursuing my Associates of Science in Nursing, and ultimately receiving my “DNP” from UAM.

My academic plans are to major in pre-occupational therapy and minor in biology. After graduating, I plan to obtain a license in occupational therapy. I do not plan on leaving my home state. Eventually, I would be honored to contribute to the community that shaped me as a person.

Lastly, I plan to obtain my associate's degree for my third life goal. The target date for this purpose is Dec 15, 2018. This goal is vital to me, with my degree I'll be able to apply for jobs within my career field. My degree also has the potential to increase my finances as well as developing my reasoning and communication skills. Equally important I will become the first of my grandmother's six grandchildren to complete this level of my

I shadowed Dr. Roisin Connolly, a physician-scientist at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, because I wanted to familiarize myself with different branches of oncology. I observed her communicate negative prognoses to her patients with compassion, and apply her own research on adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy directly to patient care. I found it extremely gratifying to see scientific knowledge directly translated to benefit patients. Knowing that I was interested in cancer research, she gave me publications on novel chemotherapy regimens to read, and always took the time to explain the logic behind her diagnoses. This shadowing experience allowed me to integrate academic research with clinical medicine.

Over the next three semesters, I will be a part of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and the Gators Walk for the Children’s Heart Foundation. I will also be an AMSA director and will be employed by the University of Florida Call Center.

The concentration of my degree was in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine. I am currently working on my Masters of Science degree in Kinesiology at University of Texas-Pan American. I started my studies in fall 2013 with the expected completion

I plan on joining the running club, since running is an important part of my life, and UWM's acres of surrounding area will provide a beautiful setting. I am currently taking AP Photography, and like to use photography as a creative outlet. I hope to get involved with a photography club or take photographs for other campus organizations or media. Finally, I would explore opportunities with AIS, which resonates with my international background.

I hope to gain more hands-on clinical experience by examining and preparing patients before surgery and monitoring them throughout the recovery process. Some of members of my lab are physician-scientists, and I have shadowed them when they see patients at the hospital. Since all of the physicians I previously shadowed were specialists, I have reached out to a family doctor. I will be shadowing him on weekends in the coming months so I can gain a better understanding of what being a primary care provider entails.

After graduation I plan to follow in the footsteps of Jimmy Longoria a mentor and friend of mine and go to the streets to paint murals to act as a cover for gang tags and enlist local kids to help so they can learn about the importance of art and help impact their community in a positive

Epigenetics is the study of meiotically or mitotically heritable changes in gene function that do not result from changes in DNA sequence. On a molecular level, epigenetic phenomena are mediated by reversible marks such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, noncoding RNAs, and transcription factors. Previous research has shown that suppressive changes in histone modifications and decreases in DNA methylation occur with age. Additionally, there are cognitive, specifically in learning, memory, and processing speed, deficits associated with age in many animals. Cognitive research has localized the areas of the brain where these deficits originate, such as the medial temporal lobe, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, and shown that they are
