Proteomics of Dicer and Associated Complexes by Mass Spectrometry
Advisor: Prof. Ray |
| The seminars were a good opportunity to learn more about the various issues that a biotech researcher deals with. While the initial presentation was pretty nerve-wracking, it forced me to read the literature and focus my goals for the summer. |

Development of Portable Software for In Silico Evolution of Biochemical Networks
Advisor: Prof. Sauro |
| While in Southern California I was able to go to the beach several times, sea kayaking, the mountains, and hiking in the dessert. We even went to the Getty art museum, the Birch aquarium, and Raging Waters water park. |

Development of Multi-Lumen Nerve Guidance Conduits
Advisor: Prof. Mann |
| Claremont is a quiet little town, but surrounded by tons of activities. There is so much to do in Southern Cali, that it is hard to decide what to do the most. |

Erin Smith |
| Dartmouth College, Engineering, Freshman |
Applications of a New Amplification Technology: Enterovirus and HSV Detection
Advisors: Prof. Charmley, Dr. van Ness |
|
My advisors were extremely helpful and available. I couldn't be happier with the project that I was assigned to. It was very exciting research and the level of understanding to be able to make effective decisions regarding my research was perfect: enough to be mentally challenging but not so complex that I couldn't understand what I was doing.

Social Networking in the San Diego Biotechnology Cluster
Advisor: Prof. Casper |
| I am glad we had two presentations to give because first, it gave me more practice, and second, it allowed me to put into effect the feedback I got from the first presentation instead of having to wait for an indefinite future opportunity to speak. I was also happy that we had a final presentation because I know most interns, myself included, were proud of the work we did this summer, and the presentation allowed us to showcase that. |
