Tell us a little about yourself:<\/h4>\n

I am a rising senior at Juniata College studying biochemistry. At school, I do metal coordination chemistry research. When I\u2019m not in the lab, I like to hike, listen to music, and play chess.<\/p>\n

How did you spend your time in the lab?<\/h4>\n

During my internship, I was responsible for helping lab technicians complete various assays such as Western Blots, Coomassie stains, ELISAs, and Biuret tests to develop future products for Jackson ImmunoResearch. For the ELISA assays, I was trained to use a robotic pipette machine.<\/p>\n

Most valuable learning experience?<\/h4>\n

The most valuable learning experience for me was simply being a part of a professional laboratory environment. This was my first internship or job related to biochemistry. I got to experience how the company operates and I worked with several laboratory technicians who took time to train me well.<\/p>\n

One thing you learned that was not taught in the classroom?<\/h4>\n

I learned that having lab partners is invaluable because having someone else check your work can be a lifesaver when working with many samples.<\/p>\n

What surprised you most about your internship experience?<\/h4>\n

I was surprised by how much the day to day work of the Product Development department changes. They work on several projects at once, requiring knowledge of many techniques.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/h4>\n

After I finish my senior year at Juniata College, I plan to enter a biology or biochemistry graduate program and eventually earn a PhD. I would like to have an industry career in a biotechnology research lab.<\/p>\n
