I transferred from Massasoit Community College and immediately joined the biophysics laser lab at BSU. I have developed the skills and background necessary to perform research on prospective anticancer drugs. I have been studying a DNA binding drug using optical tweezers, a scientific instrument used to trap tiny objects with a highly focused laser.
