The two highlights of my college experience in the biotechnology field were my independent research and my internship at Endicott College. These experiences have allowed me to not only collect data properly but also analyze it efficiently. First of all, the independent research that was overseen by Dr. Jason Nichols. The research group tested the different rigidity and pressure in breast tissue through GelMA. We studied these factors in relation to their impact on cancer cells while observing it’s behavior and response to these conditions.Second of all, my internship at Endicott College that was overseen by Dr. Grace Kwan. The purpose of this scientific research was to study the microbiome of tomatoes and lettuce in a grocery store setting while also testing for Salmonella and Escherichia coli. This research was approximately a two months worth of process of plating a piece of the skin of the tomato onto a Luria broth (LB) plate, Sorbitol MacConkey (SMAC) plate and Salmonella-Shigella (SS) plate apart from that polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis were performed.
