Summary

I graduated in March 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Forensic Science, majoring in Forensic Toxicology. Conducted research with Professor Cheng in the forensic science lab analyzing the ATM/ATR involvement within the signaling pathways on Mancozeb triggered senescence cell death in PC12 cells. I was taught various skills that aided in comprehension tactics to operate as a productive toxicologist when examining samples and quantifying data.

  • I conducted a research on the involvement of ATM/ATR signaling pathways on Mancozeb triggered Senescence cell death in PC12 Cells, employed methods of cell sub-culture, incorporating culture media and DMEM buffer to help grow the PC12 cells. Analyzed mancozeb stock solution on 2 sets of cells incubated for 3 hours and another 24 hours. Lastly, conducted a Western blot analysis incorporating SDS-PAGE protein gel treated with p-ATM (Ser 1981) Monoclonal and ATM Monoclonal (52C) antibodies. Working alongside my mentor, Professor Cheng, I was was able to comprehend to importance of working well with others, and adapting to the utilization of advance instruments when retrieving then quantifying data.
  • Utilized advanced techniques to identify and analyze evidence.
  • Compiled and maintained records of evidence and results of laboratory tests.
  • Extracted, identified and quantified toxicology evidence.
  • Prepared detailed laboratory reports and documentation of evidence collected.
  • Managed time efficiently in order to complete all tasks within deadlines.
