Investigating Immune System Signaling Pathways
Lewis Lab Research Fellowship 8 week fellowship at Stanford pediatric immunology lab Worked closely with postdoctoral fellow Developed molecular tools to better understand immune system activation
Research Challenge Develop a way to identify and view a particular molecule involved in immune responses Make it green!
Vector Development Use a bacterial plasmid designed to glow green Insert the gene for STING (the molecule of interest) Put the plasmid into cells See what happens
Results ERSTING NucleusOverlay
