Southeast Missouri State University Graduate Student Researcher: Biology Department May 2014-Dec 2014 Project Title: Evaluating the role of genes in the piRNA pathway on whole organism of Drosophila melanogaster. Used P[E:Act5C-Gal4]/Cyo fly line to cross the fruit flies with a knock-down or an overexpression gene of interest related to piRNA pathway and observed if there was any effect on whole organism throughout the development Set-up laboratory equipment and instrumentation required to perform research o Maintaining Drosophila stocks o Making Drosophila food Developed skills in direct and indirect fluorescence microscopy, and confocal microscopy Familiar with setting up the Drosophila crosses, selecting Drosophila virgin female, recognize Drosophila by its phenotype, dissecting Drosophila Larvae, measuring Drosophila eyes, taking images of Drosophila with Infinity Analyze software Presented the project result in Graduate Seminar course Southeast Missouri State University Nano-Science and Biomedical Engineering Workshop Participant June 2014 Team Project: Examine the interaction between smart nanostructures and mammalian cells. Practiced preparing nanoparticles and nanosphere, measuring nanosphere with Dynamic Light Scattering device, subculturing mammalian cells (neuron cells PC12 and cancer cell B35), and making seedling solution, counting the cells in seedling solution with haemocytometry Gained experience using aseptic techniques, handling electric micropipetters, and working under the laminar hood Practiced analyzing and evaluating morphology of nitrite cell growth with NIH Image J program Inoculated nanoparticles onto the PC12 neuron cells to perform toxic evaluation Southeast Missouri State University Course: Investigative Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Aug 2013-Dec 2013 Project goal: Examine direct biomedical interactions between proteins related to Drosophila melanogaster telomere maintenance Isolated RNA from Drosophilamelanogaster and designed primers to amplify the protein of interest (a gene called MUS304) with RT-PCR and inserted it into the plasmid Purified the protein to test protein interactions with other proteins related to telomeres of fruit flies Experienced with DNA and plasmid isolation, RT-PCR, gel electrophoresis, transformation, setting up restriction digest, chromatography, and using UV light box Familiar with handling RNA, preparing solutions and buffers, dealing with agarose gel electrophoresis and analyzing gel results, Lab safety standards, aseptic techniques, use of fluorescent and confocal microscopy, counting and measuring cells, use of autoclave machine, DNA, RNA and plasmid isolation, cloning, purification of plasmids, PCR, chromatography, gel electrophoresis, making buffers, media and solutions, western blotting, proficient in data entry and documentation, familiar with advanced statistical analysis
