1. A Summer at institute Pasteur in Paris Sophia Robertson-Lavalle Class of 2016 Chemical and Biological Engineering Sophia Robertson-Lavalle Class of 2016 Chemical and Biological Engineering

2. Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Emerging arbovirus that induces severe and long-lasting joint pain Host-virus interaction not well known Genes related to arthritis and psoriasis were studied to see if they were over-expressed in CHIKV-infected cells Process: Cell infection, RNA extraction, cDNA creation, and PCR

4. Research as a Future? First research experience Great instruction Preconceived notions of research - not necessarily wrong. Research is not a career I would want to pursue in the future.

6. cDNA Library-Sustainable Development Four CHIKV infections, as well as three transfections, and other infections were performed with three cell lines. Each cell was then lysed, RNA extracted, and cDNA created. Small amount was needed for experiment so library was left frozen for other experiments to be run.

8. Cultural Growth Internship was performed in French so improved my language skills. Learned vocabulary pertinent to my field which can not be done at Princeton and will help in aspiration to attain work and life experience in France.
