Catrina Reed
2005 summer & 2006 summer
advisor: Dr. Pyenta
Dr. Pyenta and I are working on fluorescently tagging a bacterium by transfecting GFP plasmids into the bacterium's own genetic code through electroporation. The bacterium, Bacillus Thuringiensis, is a bioinsecticide that that produces a delta-endotoxin during sporulation which is toxic to some insects. If successful, we will be able to track the bacterium through the intestinal tract of various insects and test its effectiveness as a bioinsecticide.

Eric Palmer
2005 summer
advisor: Dr. Pyenta
I am doing research in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) of monoclonal antibodies. To determine size and conformation of these antibodies, namely IgG, would be beneficial both to the pharmaceutical and academia world. Most of this research thus far has been trying to develope improved fluorescencent probes through conjugation of previously untested pairs. Hopefully, the new probes will lead to a further in-depth look into the structure and functionalities of IgG.
