Between first and second years of medical school I worked in Mario Capecchi's research lab at the University of Utah under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Jones, M.D.I was a speciman technician. I retrieved, embedded and cut paraffin and frozen samples of tumors from mice. I also mounted the samples on slides and did H&E staining.

I am studying the anti-oxidant capacities of radishes. I also grow cancer cells for experimentation and have learned various assays and techniques. Currently submitting an abstract to the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting.

In addition, several hours a week were dedicated to teaching to any of the 800 other students who were taking the class during the "Open Lab" periods.

I was able to dissect: the palm, the lateral surface of a temporal bone, a cochlea and semicircular canals, in situ malleus, and incus bones, much skinning, and general cleaning of muscles and other structures.
