Nancy Daoud
Undergraduate Student
B.S: (Pharmeceutical Chemistry) UC Davis, CA -> current
easy.
Research Project:
- I am a P.hD. candidate in Pharmacology and Toxicology starting this September. I have been in the Hammock lab since June of 2023. I research the protein soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (sEH) by measuring its activity and concentration using multiple assays such as the radioactive assay and ELISA in various samples like the brain, liver, placenta, and plasma samples in both rats and humans. This is important in understanding sEH's role in inflammation and neurodegeneration due to its metabolism of epoxy fatty acids into diols which are pro-inflammatory.
Khushi Jain
Undergraduate Student
B.S: (Genetics and Genomics) UC Davis, CA -> current
easy.
Research Project:
- I am a sophomore undergraduate research assistant majoring in genetics and genomics. I am currently assisting Dr. Morriseau to explore how levels of the sEH enzyme in aortic muscles influences the Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS).
Keying Liang
Undergraduate Student
A.S: (Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics) Chabot College, CA
B.S: (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) UC Davis, CA -> current
easy.
Research Project:
- My supervisor is Dr. Yang. My work is qualification and quantifying small molecules using chromatography and mass spectrometry.
Fuhang Liu
Undergraduate Student
B.S: UC Davis, CA -> current
easy.
Research Project:
- Currently I'm an undergraduate lab assistant working with Nan Jing and Chengpeng Xu. I work with Nan Jing on the project that explores how gut microbio could influence the expression of one of the CY2 gene could relief the liver fibrosis by learning and running LC-MS/MS and PCR. I also work with Chengpeng Xu on learning how to run GC and perform analysis on it.
Jordyn Reddic
Undergraduate Student
B.S: (Animal Biology and African American Studies) UC Davis, CA -> current
easy.
Research Project:
- My name is Jordyn Reddic and I am a fourth-year Animal Biology and African American Studies major. I work under the amazing Karen Wagner who is exploring the role of soluble epoxide hydrolase (SEH) in neuropathic pain models. My goal as an undergraduate researcher is to better understand the ins and outs of a laboratory and gain some animal handling experience that will prepare me for my future in veterinary medicine.
