Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
- UROP in the Vander Heiden lab at Koch Institute. This summer, I worked on a project that explores the role of pyruvate kinase M2 isoform in preadipocytes in vitro using the well established 3T3-L1 cell line. I also learned to handle mice and got trained to use a confocal microscope.
