Updates: During the transition period between the end of my undergraduate experience and prospectively entering medical school, I will be working at the National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Institute on Aging (B.R.C., Johns Hopkins Medical Center), as an IRTA Fellow. Under the direction of Dr. Ranjan Sen, Chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Immunology, and in collaboration with Dr. Edward Lakatta, Chief of the Laboratory of Cardiovascular Sciences, I am currently working on a new research venture involving the ARA 290 anti-inflammatory protein. My role is to compare immune status and gene expression in vivo/in vitro in ARA 290 treated rats with control rat models.
