Through my research in Dr. Randich\u2019s lab, I hope to continue developing the skills and experiences that will help me build a future in biomedical research. I\u2019ve been working in her lab since the beginning of the Fall 2024 semester, nearly two semesters now. During that time, I\u2019ve gained a solid foundation in basic lab techniques and grown more confident working in a research setting. This internship will allow me to take my involvement a step further and allow me to build upon my laboratory skills.<\/p>\n
One of my goals is to strengthen my understanding of specific techniques we use in the lab, including WGA staining, the Kirby-Bauer assay, electroporation for bacterial transformation, microscopy, and more. I also hope to improve my ability to think critically about experiments and data collection, which is something I\u2019ve already started learning through my time in the lab.<\/p>\n
I also hope to learn how to structure a research investigation, including writing an abstract, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting my findings. With Dr. Randich\u2019s guidance, I plan to present at the 2025 Phages Conference, which would be a really exciting chance to share my work with the scientific community.<\/p>\n
Overall, this internship is helping me take foundational steps toward my long term goal of working in molecular and cellular biology research. It\u2019s giving me the tools, confidence, and direction I need as I continue preparing for a career in medicine and science.<\/p>\n
