Abstract

My project this year was a great learning experience and helped me to better understand the complexity of lab work, as well as, the tools used in troubleshooting problems; including collaboration with lab researchers and professors. I learned about flow cytometry and how to analyze migration data. I also learned how to do transfections with HEK cells and how to separate B cells from a fresh sample of blood. I was thankful that I could spend time doing lab work because it’s the best teaching environment I know of in academia. I came across genuine problems and studied topics with the intent of using my knowledge to inform my research and legitimize my experiments.
