Life Sciences Seminar
What Did Our Students Do This Summer

Come hear from students in the Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences share their summer co-op, internship, and research experiences!

  • Natalie Siwek completed a co-op with VHB, a company that specializes in civil engineering, urban planning, and environmental consulting. She supported the Natural Sciences team by assisting with wetland delineations, rare species surveys, construction compliance inspections, permit application preparation, and data collection and synthesis.

  • Leah Robinson was part of an NSF EFRI REM program in the Material Science and Engineering Department at the University of Michigan, researching how organic vapor jet printed active pharmaceutical ingredients impacted the cell growth and viability of ovarian cancer cell spheroids.

  • Zach Black spent the summer doing research at RIT in Dr. Ferran's viral genetics lab. He worked on optimizing two transfection reagents and determined whether transfecting cells activates NF-kB, with the goal of understanding NF-kB regulation in human prostate cancer cells.

  • Katie Chrisbacher had an Emerson Research Fellowship at RIT this summer and completed research in Dr. Skuse's lab. She worked on a chemotherapeutic rhodcyanine dye, MKT-077.

Part 2 of the “What I did this Summer” series will be on Wed Sept 13 at 1pm in A300 Gosnell Hall.
