Research summary
During my rotations, I have worked to determine the phenotype of IL6 Receptor knockout mice and to determine the physiologic compartment in which transcription factor STAT3 becomes activated due to IL6 signaling. Additionally, I have worked to determine the effect of irradiation on the conduction velocity of micro-engineered heart tissues and to investigate physiologic and molecular differences between male and female stem cell lines.
