Undergraduate Research

I researched the interaction between microglia and macrophage cells within the lateral ventricle of hydrocephalic mice brains using techniques like PCR genotyping, gel electrophoresis, and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, I explored the role of the SOX9 genetic marker in neurogenesis and gliogenesis, and managed mouse colonies.

Key Research Projects

  • Sholl Analysis: Analyzed microglia and macrophage cell processes in transgenic mice brains.
  • Cell Counting and Data Analysis: Used ImageJ for cell counting and performed statistical analysis.
  • Single Cell Sequencing Cluster Analysis: Categorized neuron types based on gene expression using R programming.
