Vaccine Development and DiscoveryHere I worked simultaneously on two projects. The goal of the first project was to discover drug targets that generate more protective antibodies and longer-lived memory B cells in mice. The goal of the second project was to determine gene relationships regulating formation of T cells via gene expression manipulation in mice. My lab experience here included:· Running and data analysis of FACS, ELISA, and ELISPOT.· Automating ELISA analysis through Matlab script, significantly reducing analysis time. · Statistical analysis of data for presentation at lab meetings. · In vivo/in vitro Techniques: Mouse colony maintenance, treatment and immunization, blood draw, cell transfer, euthanasia, and necropsies. Tissue culturing, sterile field, transfection and retroviral transduction, leukocyte isolation and purification, cell line maintenance, live cell staining. · Other: Creating custom antibody stains, BSL-2 experience, and managing lab inventory. To examine factors that increased T-cell help during an immune response I:· Transduced T-cells with siRNA and transferred them into mice to silence specific protein expression. I then infected the mice with vaccinia to elicit an immune response, collected and processed spleens and lymph nodes, and conducted flow cytometry to determine the effect of the silenced protein on immune response.

Single-Molecule Polymer Biophysics - Rae Anderson LabThe goal of this project was to study the complex stress-strain relationships in solutions of entangled actin filaments using optical tweezers. As the principal researcher on this project, I was tasked to build this project from the ground up; on my first day, I walked into a vacant lab containing only a desk and an optical table.To build a force-measuring optical tweezers fluorescence microscope, I:· Learned to program and use NI LabView and NI Data Acquisition to acquire data and control piezoelectric stage, piezoelectric mirror, position sensing photodiode, and CMOS camera.· Assembled optical tweezers by aligning an IR laser parallel and concentrically through custom built beam expanders, collimators, periscopes, and attenuators on two planes.· Learned to script in Matlab to automate analog signal analysis by outlier exclusion, sinusoidal regression fitting, differentiation, and noise reduction to resolve piconewton forces and calibrate optical tweezers. After building optical tweezers, I:· Designed, optimized, and verified custom biochemical protocols to polymerize fluorescent F-actin, conjugate fluorescent F-actin to fluorescent microspheres, and coat microspheres with streptavidin.· Designed, conducted, and analyzed experiments probing the effects of oscillation amplitude and frequency, microsphere diameter, and actin concentration on resistive force
