- Implications of Transcription on Adaptive Mutagenesis Using dst1 Knockout Cell Lines of S. cerevisiae Jorge Velasquez, Senior Capstone Seminar Drug resistance in cells has been of great interest because it can render certain treatments for diseases ineffective, presenting a major problem to modern medicine. Cells experiencing growth arrest due to drug selective pressure are capable of acquiring mutations that confer resistance via adaptive mutagenesis. Under such conditions, replication does not occur, but

Sukhbir Randhawa, Senior Capstone Seminar Many different factors cause DNA damage in cells. UV radiation is one of the major factors; if a cell's DNA repair system does not keep repairing the
protein-based therapeutics have proven to be effective treatments in inflammation, oncology and general medicine. The biotechnology industry has come through on delivering the promise of new and novel drugs, based on recombinant DNA technology. However, unlike their small molecule drug counterparts, protein therapeutics have a wide variety of forms, representing a significant challenge in producing them, and understanding what makes up the active drug. I’ll attempt to put some of the skills learned

EMS. I worked my way from an EMT to a paramedic, working at a private ambulance in King and Pierce counties. Now I’m a firefighter/paramedic (I actually do both jobs), working for East Pierce Fire & Rescue. Even though some people may think my anthropology degree is irrelevant in my line of work, it has actually been really beneficial. Since we help people from all cultures and walks of life, which all have different ideas of health and medicine, it has enabled me to be more understanding of my
