Hello everyone it is Luis
again and I just wanted to update everyone with what has been going on since
the last time. I was able to use the b-galactosidase assay, shown below, to show that
there is in fact a direct interaction between a-tubulin and g-tubulin.
I was also able to identify a domain within g-tubulin, which is essential
for this interaction to occur. The varying intensities of yellow correspond to
the various versions of g-tubulin used to carry out the experiments.
This is the last week for the
students who are only here for 9-weeks and therefore we are had our symposium
on Wednesday and Thursday. Everyone had a great presentation and poster session
and I really enjoy hearing about the research they conducted throughout the
summer. It was an amazing experience and opportunity to meet everyone from the
SSRP 2014 cohort, shown below, and I know for a fact that it will not be the
same when I am here alone at Kairos the following week.
This summer was fantastic and
I enjoy all of the group activities we had, which included a scavenger hunt in
San Francisco, movie nights, barbeques, and social gatherings. I hope everyone
had a great summer experience and cannot wait to meet all the new members of
the MARC program.
