Revision as of 19:14, 28 October 2006
My name is Jason Lohmueller. I am a senior Biomedical Engineering concentrator. Currently I am working in two labs. Here at Brown I am working in Jeffrey Morgan's lab doing a senior honors thesis investigating the role of cell motility on cell aggregate self-assembly. I am also doing population genetics research, specifically identifying positive selection in the human lineage, with Pardis Sabeti at the Broad Institute in Cambridge. My current work there is on the co-evolution of the two closely related immune response genes IKKalpha and IKKbeta in European populations. My non-science interests include playing piano and guitar, german, coffee, running, and getting huge in the gym.
Weekly Report
Week 4:
This week I joined in several informal meetings regarding the new freeze tag idea. In these meetings I helped work through some of the logic diagrams and locate some of the parts involved. I transformed bacteria with 3 parts, all which are parts of the "Mr. Freeze" device. I have agreed to take on the leadership role with the magnetoctic bacteria project. Unfortunately I didn't get to accomplish too much with this as I was out of commission Tuesday and Wednesday with a bout of the flu. I did however assist Brendan with the magneto media on Monday. The magneto project idea still needs a lot of work. I also did research on another project idea "daily-dose repressilator" suggested to me by Josh. Unfortunately the idea does not seem feasible. I attended the weekly team meetings on Monday and Friday.
