Krista Meserve ’18 – Projects on the side

Posted on Jun 3 by

Week three of summer research and us researchers on Team Gerdon are going strong. A lot of exciting experiments are being carried out and new equipments are being constructed by the researchers each day. I have created a plan of experiments to carry out this summer, but have to wait for the plate reader instrument to be fixed. In the mean time, I have started a side project to (hopefully) confirm that our DNA aptamers are inside the hydroxyapatite crystals!...
