By the end of my first week, I had been given multiple lines of MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells. During my second week, I was preparing and running an assay to measure senescence in

Clinical Learning and Simulation Center, and the second floor Open Lab, used for both chemistry and physics lab instruction, in the Rieke Science Center. “These renovations will have a significant impact on learning and research,” says Auman. “They will allow for more mobility and interaction between students and faculty, as well as more hands-on learning for students that will set them up for being better prepared for their careers in science and healthcare.” MEETING CAMPUS – AND COMMUNITY – NEEDS“The

He likes to talk about “cracking the whip” – he even likes to pantomime the motion. He does it with a smile, but everyone gets the picture. This opportunity to work so closely with their professor is so valuable – Kakar is just as passionate about guiding the students through the capstone as the
