Research Statement Past research accomplishments. Probing the dynamics of neuronal activities is crucial to understand the complex mechanisms of the brain and related diseases. Thus, there are great demands on optogenetic indicators for neuronal activities. However, engineering desired optogenetic indicators is a well-known challenge, probably due to the delicate sensing mechanisms, and the lack of effective high-throughput screen. To tackle this, I developed several novel molecular evolution…

These types of modalities have been around for almost a century and are still being used to this day. They are used in our everyday lives whether it is at home, a clinic, or even taught in a classroom. When people think of reasons to use heat and ice, the first thought that comes to their mind is for soft tissue injuries whether it is to decrease swelling with an ice bag or to increase range of motion by dilating the blood vessels with a heat pack. However, heat and ice in today’s world are not…

Systems Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, which were obtained from Clinilab Company, Cairo, Egypt, according to manufacturer’s directions. 2.6. Histopathological Evaluation of the Kidney: Kidneys were fixed in paraformaldehyde (4%) and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections (4µm) were placed on slides, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and the morphology was analyzed under light microscopy. Tubular injury was assessed using semi-quantitative scale (Ramesh and Reeves, 2004). Scores was…

Histopathology Immediately after dissection, heart tissues (n=3/group) were excised and immersed in 10% neutral buffered formalin solution. Heart samples were processed (dehydrated in graded concentrations of alcohol, immersed in xylene) and embedded in paraffin. Sections were cut at 5μm thicknesses on a rotary microtome, mounted and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. These sections were evaluated for histological changes under light microscopy. 2.11. Statistical…

Ellis Island is an island located in New York Harbor and sits right next to the Statue of Liberty. The island is most well-known as the gateway for millions of immigrants arriving in America. The island opening in 1892 and existed for more than sixty years before closing in 1954. When “new” immigrants came to America, they were determined to be fit for entry at the immigration station at Ellis Island. Thousands of people passed through the island every day. The island is remember as the first…

The discovery of King Tut's tomb, was the greatest archaeological find of the twentieth century, due to its relative completeness and lack of looting. In Carter gives a very detailed account of how the he and his team went about finding, preserving, and cataloging all of the wonderful treasures found in the tomb. He begins with describing the initial process of preserving any fragile pieces first, and then photographing everything for later reference. Carter then goes on to describe how they…

Today, many rely on fossil fuels to help with daily necessities such as delivering electricity, powering vehicles, and heating their homes. Fossil fuels have been widely used since the Industrial Revolution. Since then, the use of fossil fuels has greatly grown. Fossil fuels are any naturally occurring carbon-containing material that, when burned with air to produce heat or energy that can be converted into liquid fuels and other hydrocarbon (carbon bonded to hydrogen) products (Speight, James).…

Pediatric cancer is among the leading causes of death for children today. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "the most prevalent cancers seen in childhood are leukemia’s and brain and central nervous system cancer. Within the United States, these cancers account for the highest incidence and death rates among children today" (2014). Research shows genetic factors play a significant role in causing a variety of pediatric cancers. This paper will provide research and…

figure out how to record telephone communication. The phonograph was the first ever machine that was able to record the sound of people’s voice and play it back after for others to hear. It was able to record the sound from indentations on a sheet of paraffin-coated paper, it is then moved under a stylus producing the sounds over, allowing people to hear. This new technology Thomas discovered made music come into existence. This invention came from Thomas’s work with telephone and telegraph. He…
