Where are you doing research this summer?
I am at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute.

What is your project?
I am working on Malaria, seeing if we can use bacteria already stabilized in the mosquito to secrete effector cells that will stop parasite transmission within the mosquito. I am working specifically with Asaia bogorensis, a bacteria, to see if it can become well-adapted and be passed on to future progeny in the mosquito vector, Anopheles gambiae.

How did you find out about research opportunities for Summer 2011?
I found out through searching universities and institutes that dealt with research summer programs. Also, Meyerhoff Scholars Program, which I am in, helped me search for summer research opportunities.

When did you start looking for a position? How many places did you apply?
I started looking for a position in October of last year. I applied to 17 institutions.

Was this your first research experience? What background did you have before starting this summer research?
This was my first summer research experience, but in my senior year of high school, I worked and interned at United States Department of Agriculture.

Are there other undergraduates involved in the same research this summer? Who do you work with directly each day?
Yes there are other undergraduates in this summer program. I work directly with one of the post-doctoral fellows in my lab.

What did you gain from this experience?
I learned that research is an ocean, filled with different parts and things that you can focus on. It is vast but it is also a place where you don't look at the time often and time goes by very quickly. I gained a great deal of lab experience that I will take on with me to my future lab positions. I now have more networking opportunities and I am a better presentation speaker. This experience has also supported my educational and career goals in a positive way.

What is your advice to other UMBC students about summer research?
Summer research is an awesome opportunity that can open up doors for you, sharpen your mind and technical skills, and can also allow you to delve into topics that are truly important in this world and in our future.

Can you tell us your major and your plans for the future?
I am a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major. I am graduating from UMBC in 2014, and I plan to attain my MD/PhD at an accredited institution.

To foster a culture of creativity, innovation, and collaboration across disciplines, the information schools (iSchools) must actively recruit and develop students and faculty from underrepresented segments of the population. The iSchools need a diverse group of future leaders to take on the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. i3 is committed to developing those leaders. 

Each year, approximately 20 undergraduate students from across the country are selected to become i3 Scholars. Those students undertake a year-long experience which prepares them for graduate study in the information sciences and ultimately a rewarding career that matches their interests.

Research at Caltech! MURF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

The MURF program aims to increase the participation of underrepresented students (such as African American, Hispanic, and Native American, females who are underrepresented in their discipline, or first-generation college students) in science and engineering Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs and to make Caltech's programs more visible to students not traditionally exposed to Caltech.

Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required.

Competitive applicants will have completed sophomore-level courses in desired research field, have demonstrated through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for research, and can articulate how their research interests align with Caltech's research areas.

Support: MURF students will receive a $6000 award for the ten-week program. An additional $500 housing and travel supplement will be provided.

Application: Online Applications are due January 11, 2012.
