Biomolecular Science - Research Opportunities
Research Opportunities
What really sets Clarkson and this program apart from other programs is our emphasis on learning by doing. Students are actively involved in the research labs at Clarkson, but large numbers also take summer internships off campus at such places as the Trudeau Institute in nearby Saranac Lake. Many of the undergraduates take part in faculty-directed research projects. Invariably our alumni tell us that time spent with the faculty in research turns out to be the most important learning experience of their college career.
Faculty in the Biomolecular Science Program work closely with undergraduates, and students have the opportunity to become involved in research projects throughout the school year and during the summer. Examples of recent undergraduate research projects include:
- Chris Folts '05: Preliminary Studies on Engineering of Human Skin Substitutes
- Ryan Bonk '05: Non Ionic Surfactants in Use with Imprinted Polymers in Removal of Mercury from Wastewater
- Tu Trinh T Tran '05: Modification of Titania Nanoparticle Surfaces Through RAFT Polymerizations
- Dan Marker '06: Activation of NF-kB in Human Epithelial Cells Expressing Human Papillomavirus Oncogenes
- Adam Searleman '06: Predicting Cervical Carcinoma Cell Response to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGF-R) Inhibition by PD153035
- Matthew Kisbaugh '06: Synthesis of Functionalized Polymers
- Krystal James '06: Synthesis of Poly(glucuronic acid) via Enzymatic Polymerizations for Biomedical Applications
- Bethany Smith-Packard '07: The Effect of NF-kB on Immortalization of Human Cervical Cells by Papillomaviruses
- Lauren Camaione '03 and Eliona Kulla '06: Investigation of the nature of the reaction of orthophthalaldehyde used for determination of aminoacids
