Anastasia Dodge

During my undergraduate studies, I gained extensive practical experience in laboratory settings, which laid the foundation for my current research pursuits. As a Research Assistant, I developed proficiency in fundamental laboratory techniques, including pipetting, aseptic methods, cell culture, RNA isolation, and western blotting. My research focused on investigating the cytotoxic effects of natural compounds on triple-negative breast cancer cells. This work not only honed my technical skills but also emphasized the importance of rigorous methodology and critical analysis. My contributions culminated in a first author publication (Smith et al., 2023), demonstrating my ability to engage in meaningful research and effectively communicate scientific findings.
