As a research assistant in the Bowman Lab, I conducted laboratory research for a project studying the effects of heavy metal toxicity and manganese exposure on Huntington's disease neuropathology. During my research, I designed and conducted experiments to test the effects of manganese exposure and genotype on the expression of core circadian clock genes using mouse striatal cell cultures and optimized genotyping reactions used to identify mice for experiments and plan breeding stages. I also utilized Excel and GraphPad Prism to analyze the data from my experiments and then presented the results in laboratory meetings.
