I have carried out research in nanotubes and biosensors at the University of Oklahoma during the summer of 2003. Here, I worked with and constructed carbon (regular and purified), made different types of PDMS mold and stamps, and just various types of lab work. I have also done research in characterization of chiral sulfoxidation using HRP atthe University of Kansas REU (CEBC) last summer under Dr. Aaron Scurto. Currently, I am doing microbial fermentation project at Prairie View under Dr. Michael Gyamerah with four of my peers. As one can see, I have a diverse and unique research background. I am interested in Dr. Cuero’s research because it will allow me to not only enhance my research opportunities a bit further, but it will allow the creative side of me to be nurtured and encouraged. Being that he is one of the elite researchers’, I know I will learn a lot from. |

Osayamen
Osayamen Edigin is a Junior Chemistry and Biology major student at Prairie View A&M Unieversity. Aneka
Aneka is Junior, working on a double major in Chemical Engineering and Mathematics at Prairie View A & M University.She hopes to become a Pharmacist and a Mathematics professor.
Christian
My name is Christian Cruz, I am a graduate student of chemical engineering at Prairie View A&M university. I have been working with Dr. Raul Cuero for the last two years. At the beginning it was difficult for me because as engineer, I did know much about the biology work that was done at the laboratory, like bacteria growth and others. With time and the help of everyone at the laboratory now I am able to do different thing around like RNA, DNA extraction, things that I never thought I would do. Now with iGEM 2006 I see a chance for myself to put in practice all of my engineering knowledge.
