Recent Efforts Toward Engineering Anticancer Plant Secondary Metabolites

June 7, 2019

By Roxanna Pignolet, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, ‘20

Author’s note: This literature review was originally written as an assignment for my 102B Writing in the Disciplines: Biological Sciences class. At the start of this quarter I was lucky enough to get involved in plant metabolic engineering research in Dr. Patrick Shih’s laboratory, which exposed me to the field of synthetic biology for the first time. I immediately became fascinated with the whole process of engineering plants to produce medically relevant compounds. Through this review I hope to inform others of these surprising and highly relevant applications of plant genetic engineering.

Cofactor Effects in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Metabolism

January 24, 2018

 

By Madison Dougherty, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ‘18

 

Author’s Note: After taking FST 3, Introduction to Brewing, I was intrigued by the brewing process and how yeast are such an important factor to the quality of beer that is produced. I have since looked deeper into yeast and the fermentation process, gaining a special interest in yeast-related research. I wrote this paper in order to discover more about the unique qualities of yeast and fermentation while informing others about this microorganism’s relevance to humans and other scientific processes.
