This week was really chill at the lab. Most of the students working in my lab were writing up their grant requests for next year's research, so there was less projects for me to do this week. I started out the week using the super...
This week I started working with anti-body staining. I took two poly di-lysine slides (sample sticks better if coated), segmented tissue, fixed and washed it as I had done with all my previous samples in the weeks earlier. Then I treated it with two 5...
It was another interesting week at the lab. I got to image samples that I segmented, fixed, washed, and placed on slides. It was a self-done project. In the previous week I described the segmenting-fixing-washing process but this week I learned the simple task of...
This week was fun as it was my first experience working in the wet lab. Before I had been strictly doing computational work but this week I was more oriented towards physical lab work. Most of my work this week involved preparing slides for imaging. I...
For my second week at the Neretti Lab, I refined my coding skills even more. I was introduced to a software coding package called Cellpose. Cellpose is a deep learning, AI software that is very useful for microscopy analysis on images. Cellpose is a technology...
I started my internship at the Center for Biology of Aging at Brown University, in Professor Nicola Neretti's lab, this week. This lab studies everything about cellular senescence, or when a cell stops proliferating/dividing. Obviously there can be age related diseases with an accumulation of...
Hello, my name is Jerry Sharpe and I am a junior from Telluride High School. Ever since taking an AP biology course, organic chemistry has been a huge interest to me that could take me into possible medical science fields. Both of my parents are doctors...
