| What is your current research focus? | My current research focus involves the field of nursing. During my time in high school, I worked in a lab at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County where I researched more effective cures for prostate cancer using mice and rats as cancer models. Additionally, I had a smaller project of my own where I worked to optimize transfection protocols of Hela cells using green fluorescent protein (GFP). While in UROP, I was given the opportunity to work under The Center for Leadership and Social Change where I participated in the Leadership Programs Project. The main goal of this project was to obtain data on educational leadership programs located throughout the country. |
