P* Lab

So I'm very excited. I have been accepted into the lab of my choice for completion of my senior thesis in biomedical engineering which may or may not turn into my M.S or Ph.D. Eventually I'd love to do an M.D-Ph.D. The implication of that is many years of study. Not sure if I can handle greater than 7 more years of academia.

In my new lab I get to play with the Biacore and do flow cytometry measurements with a laser. All beautiful things that Tulane doesn't have because they can't afford and/or doens't have anyone to run them. At least in the BME labs. I 'm sure some physics guy has lasers but more than likely isn't looking at specific cell surfaces using it.

What interesting to me is that I get to apply the knowledge I have from BME to immunology. Which is amazing to me to say the least.

I'll be looking at mouse IgG, HIV antibodies, and Ricin antibodies. I'm thrilled.

So my blog will have the dust brushed off of it (with a lint free non static kimwipe of course).

I'll include some journal reviews to get me in the habit of writing more, which after 3 years of engineering I'm in dire need of. Also I'll throw in some wine tasting notes because...well I love wine. I still am Brandy afterall.
