In this faculty-run lab I performed many essential techniques in Microbiology including preparing buffers and medium from scratch, creating bacterial strains via cloning, performing PCR's (and their related analogues such as qPCR), running gels, etc. I also mentored other undergraduates, by training them in laboratory maintenance and basic laboratory techniques.
The DNA-damage response is a critical focus of the lab, as its applications are relevant to current topics in the acquisition and generation of antibiotic resistance. Starting in September, I was assigned to a project that analyzes the role of the error-prone polymerase, recA.
