General Goal: Define limits of the utility of C. elegans as a model to predict mammalian toxicologic responses

Project Specific Goals: Utilizing heavy metals as a test class of toxicant, the student will study responses in the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene reporters in transgenic C. elegans.  The student will analyze experimental data and correlate this data with published analyses of heavy metal toxicity in mammals.  The student will also attempt to define patterns in gene expression such that the presence of specific heavy metals can be identified by the C. elegans response.
 
Prerequisites: Successful completion of college level courses in basic chemistry, basic biology, cell or systems biology, and genetics.  Attention to accuracy and detail is essential, as are excellent oral and written communication skills.  Lab experience in maintaining monocultures is preferred.  Experience working with C. elegans is desired but not required.

Project Description: After learning to use lab equipment and data analysis software as well as sterile technique and dosing procedures for C. elegans liquid culture, the student will be expected to work a minimum of 12 hours a week, working in alternate weeks to acquire experimental data and then analyze it.  In the experimental week, this will entail two 3-hour blocks of time on different days to 1. isolate eggs for age matched cohorts, and 2. dose them (the spacing of the days depends on the age required at dosing); a following 6 hour block of time is needed to acquire data by microscopy imaging or COPAS.  In the following week, the student will maintain their worm strains, analyze acquired data, and prepare reports on a more flexible schedule.  At the end of each semester, the student is expected to prepare a poster and/or a paper summarizing and discussing their findings.  Work can be paused during finals and school vacation time.

Compensation: This is an unpaid project.  The student will receive training, work experience, and hopefully authorship on a published paper. Obtaining course credit is the student’s responsibility. This can be facilitated by the Shriver Center.

Required Work Habits:
Regular attendance during standard work hours
Adherence to sterile technique in designated areas
Use only of assigned/designated media and reagents
Care and clean up of utilized lab space and equipment

Data from this analysis will be used to better understand pointing problems individuals with motor impairments experience when using a computer, and build systems to accommodate their needs.
Students will test pre-existing computer vision software to analyze screenshots of real world computer interfaces. Depending on interest and skill, students may also work to help design new computer vision techniques to analyze data, or design a database to hold multiple types of information gathered about pointing data.

This project explores how we can empower people to build, customize, and modify their own assistive technology.

Students working on this project will design, build and/or evaluate new Assistive Technologies. Depending on student interest, they may write software, build hardware, or use other prototyping methods. Interested students may learn User-Centered Design methods by working with people who rely on Assistive Technology to identify problems and design appropriate solutions.

Undergraduate students can do this research for credit as IS400 or 469; Masters students can register for IS/HCC 700; and PhD students can register for IS/HCC 801.

Skills: No required skills, but experience or interest in Arduino, 3D modeling, User-Centered Design and  crafting a plus. Depending on the project, students will have access to 3D printers, Laser Cutters, and other rapid prototyping tools.

Deliverables: Students will be required to post their progress on this project to a blog, write a 4-page paper at the end of the semester, and make all of their designs open-source.

Time Commitment:  Students interested in working on this project should be willing to commit 10 hours a week. Work time will be flexible, but the student will be expected to attend group meetings and meet with the advisor once a week.

Expected Duration:  This project will take place during the Fall 2011 semester, and may continue into the Spring semester.
