The Cytogenetic Lab: performs conventional cytogenetic testing or routine chromosome analysis, sometimes referred to as karyotyping, and is provided for a variety of clinical applications. These types of studies are utilized to detect numerical and/or structural chromosome abnormalities in metaphase cells. Constitutional studies are employed for the diagnoses of the commonly known congenital conditions, such as Down syndrome, but are also employed in numerous other clinical situations, such as infertility.- Performed conventional chromosomal analyses after receiving blood, bone marrow, and tissue samples.- Performed cell cultures, chromosomal harvesting and microscopic analysis during karyotype production.- Conducted molecular cytogenetic testing such as fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) for patient assessment.- Collaborated with the team to recruit and hire new lab technicians. Also, trained all new technicians in the use of specific lab equipment.

Our lab is interested in the development and function of neural circuits. Specifically, we ask: what factors affect development (and therefore, function) of neural circuitry during CNS development, and, once the neurons and connections to their downstream targets are in place, what factors affect recruitment of individual neurons into a circuit?- Conducted lab experiments investigating the function of neural circuits during central nervous system development.- Maintained and cleaned all lab equipment to comply with safety regulations.

SLU 101 Leaders performed the essential duty of assisting in the orientation of incoming students and their family members during the summer orientation to Saint Louis University. Twenty SLU 101 Leaders were selected for the orientation of 2000 students. The student leaders must have a passion for working with a diverse student population, be committed to student learning and development, be committed to diversity and social justice, possess strong critical thinking and problem solving skills, demonstrate initiative, communicate effectively, have a positive attitude, have developed interpersonal human relations skills, and have an ability to plan and organize. In addition, the student leaders worked toward an awareness of self and others to better meet the needs of the students in which they are serving. Student leaders connected and integrated the servant leadership framework into their leadership position.- Mentored all incoming Parks College of Engineering and Aviation freshman as they transitioned to a new learning environment.- Aided in the academic transition of all students by assisting the academic advising and registration process.- Nominated as one of three leaders to give a speech on the characteristics and embodiment of the Jesuit core values.- Served as a role model of positive behavior, representing the University with pride and respect, in and out of the classroom.
