Justine's Bio

Hi everyone, my name is Justine. My nickname is Stein. I am currently studying Biological Sciences at PC. I plan to continue my education and get a bachelor's degree in molecular biology. My favorite place to be is in the lab doing experiments, so it only makes sense that this would be a large part of my ideal job. My special interest include microbiology.

Fall 2024-Week 13

Hi everyone, I hope everyone had an ejoyable thanksgiving.There isn't much for me to say. I was able to finish my experiments before leaving for vacation last week. I plan on analyzing my results and finishing my research paper. I also plan to work on the final presentation. This week was also my last week for the organic chemistry lab and lecture. I'll be taking the organic chemistry final on monday so wish me luck.

Fall-2024 Week 7

Staphylococcus aureus is considered one of the most prevalent pathogens in hospital-related infections. This strain of Staphylococcus are apart of the human microbiota, and they can contaminate medical instruments and implants and cause infections. (Chessa et al., 2016) Certain strains of Staphylococcus Aureus have gained the ability to resist the antibiotic methicillin. This strain is known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). (Kot et al., 2020) Due to the increased emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, finding new ways to combat these pathogens has become essential. Their ability to form biofilms makes each of these bacteria difficult. Biofilm formation is one of the leading contributors to antibiotic resistance and hospital-related infections. The biofilm allows bacteria to stick and multiply on medical instruments. Biofilms comprise extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), S. Epidermis, and S. Aureus biofilms, which are polysaccharides, amyloids, and pro...

Fall 2024-Week 6

Hi, everyone; this week has been quite busy in the lab. For the past few weeks, I've been repeating subculture due to not having enough time to do an experiment. This week, I finally had the time. I'll be completing a biofilm formation assay. It's extremely similar to what I did last year but with some tweaking. Outside of the lab, I've put my creative ideas to use for decorating for Halloween. I've also been putting some ideas to use for the robotics club and the Halloween ball. I'm super excited to see how everything will come out.
