Have you taken or are you taking...
7.05/5.07 (Biochemistry) Not yet. 7.06 (Cell Biology) No. 7.02 (General Biology Lab) Nope. 5.310 (General Chemistry Lab) Definitely not :)

Do you have any experience culturing cells (mammalian, yeast or microbial)? No

Do you have any experience in molecular biology (electrophoresis, PCR, etc)? No

Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
I worked in a lab with HST. I was fabricating microwells made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with "stamps" made from DMSO. I was also printing A6 polymer into these microwells, hoping later to find any effects A6 had on the cells our collaborators cultured in them. I did not get to work with any of the cells (staining, passaging) or do any work under the hood, but I got to do a lot of work leading up to that and making it possible!

Anything else you would like us to know?
I am basically a clean slate, as you can tell, and I am excited to get my hands on some good biology!
