Personal Experience & Purpose of Project

25 02 2008

My personal experience as an undergraduate researcher has been a wonderfull one full of friendships, collaboration and acknowledgement. I’ve learned some things of nanotechnology that I had never imagined it even existed and how important it is for the future of science. Some of the things that nanotechnology can be useful is for the detection of explosives and much more things such as problems with the human body. My research is about creating a nanoparticle that can be used to prevent heart attacks and even more specific to detect them in real time and not when you already have the pain. Sounds awesome. Well it certainly can be great for the science and for the human being too. This is just the strart of my research and I definetly look foward to keep researching in this area that has so much to give. I have also learned interpersonal skills such as responsability, team work, patience and punctuality. All of the ones mentioned are very important and sometimes can be a little difficult to do. My biggest obstacles are punctuality and responsabily as well as dividing the work in the team because I have a laboratory partner and friend, who has different classes which means we have different schedules and we have to coordinate our work time and some times our meetings to put together our results. As I said before, this have been my biggest obstacles but never impossible to do them. It just takes time to learn how to and patience will come with it.

Tienes la oportunidad de compartir con los otros estudiantes de BioMinds en tu lab?

Well I do know my partners, but I am not sure if one of them are part of the BIO-MINDS program. However, I do talk a lot about the science projects with other fellows part of the program and we all learn about each others projects.

Hey!

Bien interesante tu investigación. Pero quisiera saber más de como se utilizarían las nanoparticulas para detectar el ataque al corazón. Se estarían asociando a alguna molécula específica al suceso?

Hey Javier, well as the levels of troponin rises in blood, it means that the heart attack is more proximate to happen. The nanoparticle should be designed in a way that it would bind with this protein to detect its levels inreal time and not when you have the pain.

Hola antes que nada gracias por el comentario que me dejastes me alegra que te interese mi investigacion, realmente es bastante interesante. Mi investigacion se enfoca en encontrar los mecanismos que utilizan los microorgarnismos para resistir los metales ya que esto nos puede beneficiar para bioremediacion y para la explicacion de hallazgos en otros planetas. Espero poder informarte un oco mas mientras transcursa la investigacion. quiero que sepas que tu investigacion esta super interesante y que me alegra que utilices tus conocimientos para ayudar a los niños. Yo se que vas a llegar muy lejos porque eres bien trabajador. Cuidate mucho y seguire visitando tu pagina.
