| + | My name is Lesli Caulfield and I am a chemical engineering senior at Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, TX. I am honored to say that I have experience in what I want to accomplish. While attending the University of Oklahoma, I was able to become a research assistant, for the summer of 2003, under Dr. David Schmidtke dealing with biosensors and cell adhesion. Here, I worked with and constructed carbon nanotubes (regular and purified), made different types of PDMS mold and stamps, and just various types of lab work. I personally, had fun discovering new things with the four other members of his research team. I had the opportunity to participate in the University of Kansas REU (CEBC) last summer under Dr. Aaron Scurto doing characterization of chiral sulfoxidation using HRP to expand my horizons in environmental engineering. Currently, I am working in a bio-fermentation lab (CEBC) under Dr. Michael Gyamerah with four of my peers. I am studying the growth affects on a strand of E. Coli with different solvents. | ||

A curious mind sees no boundaries to anything, at least which is how I view life. I have just realized that life is a continuously creative process and I have decided not to miss out any part of it, at least scientifically. With the theoretical knowledge I have acquired over the years more recently, a much more practical application of experimental science within the last four years I could not have been more excited to be a part of the iGEM 2006 program. My work has encompassed in vitro bioremiodation of metal ions and radionuclides at Prairie View A&M University under the Principal Inevstigator Dr R. Cuero. I have also worked on the role of plasmid DNA in the biology of Helicobacter pylori the microorganism which causes ulcers and gastritis at Texas Woman’s University under the guidance of Dr John Knesek.
