91ÖÆÆ¬³§ student Ben Clifford was among nine 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ students who presented research at the Thinking Matters symposium.
Nine 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ students shared their capstone research projects online at the annual Thinking Matters research symposium.
The conference is usually held at the University of Southern, but presentations from 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ and USM students this year were uploaded onto the USM Digital Commons because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The research posters showcased high-quality student-faculty research collaborations from students in Daniel Moore’s genetics class, with subjects ranging from malaria to termites to eye disease.
91ÖÆÆ¬³§ students who took part in Thinking Matters were:
- Alexandra Davis ― Detecting Microsatellite Instabilities to Diagnose Lynch Syndrome in Colorectal Cancer Patients
- Zachary Loiser ― Genetic Variation in Eusocial Insects
- Micah Smith ― Biosynthesis of Cannabinoids in S. cerevisiae
- Merveidi Bayingana ― CAS9-mediated Gene Drive Might Be the Best Way to Eradicate Malaria Worldwide
- Mahdi Farah ― Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia has an Unusual Inheritance Pattern Depending on the Gene Involved
- Linda Line ― Combatting Antibacterial Resistance With Phage Therapy
- Ben Clifford ― How CRISPR Prime Edited Gene Drives Could Lead to a Genetic Revolution
- Amira Djama ― The Risk of Developing Type 1 Diabetes is Increased by Certain Variants of the HLA Genes
- Alia Bradley ― Transgenerational Inheritance of Trauma Through Epigenetic Mechanisms
