- Cell culture of stem cells and differentiation of stem cells into neurons and kidney organoids used to clinically test efficiency of drug treatments in reducing the phenotypic effects of diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
- Conduction of molecular assays, including DNA extraction and purification of thawed astrocytes, PCR of extracted DNA to be used for genotyping, and immunocytochemistry assays of developing neuronal progenitor cells to ensure successful development of the neurons.
- Data generation of raw data into graphs of neuronal network electrophysiology obtained through a multielectrode array assay that could later be used for publication and grant proposals.
- Restocking and maintaining lab supplies to prevent shortages while experiments are being conducted.
- Maintaining a daily up-to-date notebook of experiments conducted to refer to and make notes for future experiments
- Observation of western blot assay, ELISA assay, and calcium imaging for future independent performance.
- Reading current research papers pertaining to the current research to identify direction that is being focused on and the conclusion that can be obtained from the paper. Data that helps in the current research then had its methods analyze, where these methods world be compared to our current methods and see if changes can be made to the current protocol.
