Fluorescence Microscopy of Yeast Cells

During this semester in the lab, I have dealed with certain challenges presented during the execution of the experiments. Even so, it has been extremely fascinating and satisfactory. During this time, I have mastered the techniques that I have already learned. In addition, I have learned to perform Polysome Profiles and purify proteins from sucrose gradients. This is relevant in the development of my project because they allow us to explore mRNA translation defects.

The networking made using the Bio Blog has been great since I have been able to learn about different experiments and techniques that undergraduate students are doing. It is interesting because these are projects running in Puerto Rico, showing that this country has a great amount of students  devoted with their careers.
