For those of you undergraduates who are involved in research...

 

[randombetch]

1. mTOR and Hippo signaling pathways
2. Econometric analysis of health policies (my independent work next year and the year after will be on this)

 

[Burk]

Innate Immunity => C.elegans

Molecular Genetics and Microbiology lab.

 

[Warped Apostle]

I am conducting a masters thesis on how small amounts of lipid peroxidation can protect astrocytes from oxidative stress.

 

[Artimacia]

I'm doing my honors thesis on forensic organic chemistry (using different trace evidence detection tools)

 

[loveoforganic]

psychology - psychopathy

 

[Zona Pellucida]

Innate Immunity => C.elegans

Molecular Genetics and Microbiology lab.

Also doing C. elegans research in association with microbiology.

 

[tinery]

aging and mitochondrial dynamics in c elegans

 

[nonsciencemajor]

cardiology research...
worked with cardiologist got published
now working with a PhD and hoping to get published once again before med school starts

yes i feel fortunate to have been all ready exposed to clinical research.... if thats what you are wondering

 

[insane]

thermodynamics namely super critical water and co2

 

[novawildcat]

Medicinal chemistry.

Did a bunch of different programs over the years. Worked on a combo of a mu agonist/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, derivatives of imipramine, allosteric modulators of the muscarinic M4 receptor, and delta opiod agonists all for the novel treatment of different types of pain. A couple of our compounds are in clinical trials and it led to a bunch of published material.

It's actually quite shocking how little is out there for chronic types of pain and how ineffective our current medications are. It is extremely difficult trying to find a compound safe enough to take for years on end with little side effects.

 

[mstp2011]

Biophysics - use of nanoparticles in cellular imaging

 

[FrozenTexan]

In under grad, Kinetics of tethered bis-lophine derivatives, currently finishing my masters where I study synthetic methodology of gamma-amino acids and their uses to inhibit protein protein interactions

 

[Reggieray2k]

Using fMRI studying depression, pain, TBI etc. Did some work with depression now focusing more on Diffusion Imaging.

 

[persianprep08]

Nuroscience (or as my PI likes to call it: Brain lab)
Our focus is on cortical plasticity in regards to tactile perception.
Last year we did surface area vs. Two point treshhold (i'm hoping it will be published b/4 i apply).
This year we want to see if 3 hours of blindness is enough for cortical plasticity
Neuroscience (or as my PI likes to call it: Brain lab)
Our focus is on cortical plasticity in regards to tactile perception.
Last year we did surface are vs. two point threshold (I’m hoping it will be published b/4 i apply).
This year we want to see if 3 hours of blindness is enough time for cortical plasticity.

 

[Justforkicks4]

role of interleukin-13 and CCR5 receptor in allergy/asthma manifestation...love it 🙂👍

 

[BBender716]

in short -- the economics of increasing oil scarcity, are we running out??? you'll have to wait for the publication 😉

 

[GoBriightly]

I'm doing my honors thesis on serotonin receptors in the raphe pallidus and their effect on responses to hypoxic stress in sprauge-dawley rats.
basically, neuroscience.
it's awesome. i love it!

 

[dutch24]

My research focuses on the function of neutrophils isolated from mouse bone marrow in G protein-mutated mice.

 

[oaklandguy]

I work on retinal ganglion cells. In vitro I do a lot of biochemical studies altering cell differentiation and working on proteins that kill the cell or keep the cells alive under specific conditions. In vivo my PI and I work on simulating glaucoma in various ways. We did an IV injection into a vein in the eye using a 36 gauge needle and ran 3 molar saline solution to collapse the vein causing increased pressure build-up in the eye over time. We also have injected microbeads to block the veins causing increased pressure buildup. We have also done injections in the eye that kill ganglion cells such as injecting KA (Kainic Acid). Most of the in vivo is done on mice and rats and once in a while on rabbits. We usually dissect out the eye and stain the retina and then slice it to about 10 microns and figure out exactly whats happening to the cells. Most of the protein work is done in vitro, but once in a while we will inject certain proteins in vivo; however, I have not been a part of that work yet.

 

[Bernoull]

1. biomedical optics - clinical application diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for diagnosis and physiological monitoring.

2. Effects of ischemic stress on mitochondria secondary to myocardial infarction..

 

[Morsetlis]

Hepatology, transplant, virology (hep b/c)

It involved mice. Lots and lots of mice.

 

[RavensGal]

C. jejuni and its ability to form biofilms. It involves lots of enzyme digests and cloning.

I am doing research in my own lab. I run it out through a one-dude LLC. I look forward to moving to Detroit to continue my work. Somewhere where the culture is legit. I'm a white dude by the way.
So once I get my lab into a real nice setup I am going to be doing basic organic chem reactions onto legal chemicals to make new really funky ****.
Stuff that takes time to build up in the system...
I am murging organic chem with drugs and food.
It is going to be a feeling like this:
SSRI+ACh boost+xanthines+THC+light dissociative cocktail

The chemicals are not simple and, not unlike food, take two weeks to start noticing major changes.
