As a doctorate student at CSU in Regulatory Biology, I am taking classes and working on two lab rotations at The Cleveland Clinic. The first lab rotation, which runs until July 20th, will be in Dr. Tuohy’s immunology lab. His team of researchers, which I am now a part of, is involved in the development of vaccines for cancer and gene therapy for therapeutic treatment of multiple sclerosis.
My second rotation is in Dr. Aldred’s lab in the genomic medicine section. Here I will be exposed to all the great expensive equipment I’ve only read about in textbooks as I look for a hereditary correlation involving pulmonary hypertension. Both experiences I’m sure will give me more practical experience that I can bring back to the Reserve classroom.
