Project Description
This project will focus on evaluating the effects of prenatal alcohol and cannabinoid exposure in a cell culture model. Using an ex-vivo neurosphere model, students will get hands on experience with cell culture, drug exposure models and molecular tools such as RNA/protein extraction techniques, qRT-PCR, western blots and imaging. Students will also be trained in experimental design and data analysis while learning about fetal development and drug exposures.
Team Needs
Team is currently full. No experience required.
Special Opportunities
Students will get opportunities to present research work at student symposiums in the form of research posters and oral presentations. Students will also get the chance to practice leadership skills, presentation skills, and experimental planning.
