I have received the Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award and will be working at the NIH in the Department of Preoperative Medicine.
This positions reelin as a potential marker in human patients experiencing cognitive decline without AD pathology. Our results show that aged-impaired male and female rats experience a selective reduction of reelin mRNA in the lateral entorhinal cortex and not the medial entorhinal cortex. Reduced reelin, a protein involved in adult synaptic plasticity, is implicated in hippocampal dependent memory impairment. This study seeks to extend the findings from a well characterized model of age-related cognitive decline in male rats by expanding into the female population. Reelin as a Medial Temporal Lobe Marker for Age-Related Cognitive Decline in Male and Female Rats In my upcoming plans, I am taking some time off from being a student, but beyond that, I cannot imagine a future without me doing exciting research. My research emphasizes how they did so by taking advantage of didactic poetry as a shared genre between the Chinese and Persian medical traditions – which served as a vehicle for cultural exchange in the making of this manuscript.Ĭreating this project was the most invigorating things I’ve done my time at Hopkins. I study the reasons why the compilers of this text went to great lengths to preserve essential features of the sound and rhyme of Chinese in these verses, while also rendering them recognizable to a Persian audience. It is a Persian translation of a collection of Chinese sources including cosmological diagrams, anatomical drawings, and the subject of my research, didactic verse. The manuscript Tānsūqnāma-yi Īlkhān dar Funūn-i ‘Ulūm-i Khitạ̄’I (Treasure Book of the Ilkhan on the Chinese Arts and Science) is one that reflects the cultural fusion brought about by the fourteenth-century Pax Mongolica. The Tansūqnāma: Chinese-Persian Medical Poetry I am graduating (hopefully with honors) this May and plans on traveling the world during the summer before I begin my medical education at a MD institution. glabrata to increase its resistance to popular antifungals and increase its ability to withstand immune system attacks can increase the rate of infection and mortality. When humans get fungal infections in the blood (candidiasis) which occurs mostly within hospitals in organ transplants, the ability for C. glabrata the unique opportunity to increase resistance to antifungals and increase virulence within host species (like humans). In the fungal species Candida glabrata, the regulation of specific genes via frameshifting gives C.
Producing two different transcripts from the same gene gives an organism the ability to regulate the amount of functional/full-length protein that is in the organism. Ribosomal frameshifting is used by many different organisms and some viruses like influenza to produce two protein transcripts from one gene by changing the open reading frame of the ribosome as it translates an mRNA transcript.
My project investigates a biological mechanism called programmed ribosomal frameshifting.
Pathogenic Environmentally Dependent Antifungal Resistance Mechanism via +1 Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting in C. Following this, I will attend the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to obtain a medical degree. It was found that COVID-19-induced academic stress was associated with a change in the way that college students eat (eating behaviors) rather than a change in the composition of their diet.Īfter graduating, I will be pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy degree at The University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill for the next two years. This was investigated through a cross-sectional survey including novel measures of pandemic-induced stress regarding academics, finances, and COVID-19 exposure along with measures of mental health, diet, and eating patterns. This project investigates the effect of COVID-19-induced stress related to academics (e.g., new online class format, changing career prospects due to the pandemic, distracting learning environment) on diet, eating behaviors, social support, and the mental health of college students in November 2020, the semester following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Implications of COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Stress, Social Support, and Other Mental Health Measures in the Eating Behaviors of College Students
