What Did Our Students Do This Summer (Part 2)
Come hear from students in the Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences share their summer co-op, internship, and research experiences!
-
Hannah DeFelice participated in an REU at the University of New Hampshire. As part of the program, Hannah traveled to northern Sweden to perform vegetation assessments and collect pore water samples in an area of permafrost transition/thaw. Her results showed considerable change in vegetation cover, pH, and methane concentrations between 2015 and 2023.
-
Sydney Purcell conducted research at RIT in Dr. Ferran's viral genetics lab. She focused on using targeted molecular imaging agents to image breast cancer cells and infecting C. elegans with VSV to overexpress a specific gene.
-
Zak Azad conducted research in Dr. Thomas' lab at RIT. The research project focused on optimizing parameters that impact phage growth and yield.
-
Tori Russell was involved in several research projects in Dr. Ferran's lab at RIT, including a mechanobiology project, a breast cancer imaging project, and a C. elegans/VSV project.
-
Maggie Muldoon participated in the RIT Wetlands REU, with her research project focusing on the impact of the Emerald Ash Borer on bird species and habitat in forested wetlands.
