Adding Techniques To The Neurobiology Of Aging Laboratory At TCU

Abstract

For my honors project I will meet frequently with the graduate students working in the laboratories of Dr. Boehm and Chumley, to help refine, fine-tune, and write up the biological and/or behavioral laboratory protocols that will then be combined with our previously existing laboratory manual. This manual, which includes highly specific recipes and laboratory protocols, is of critical importance to proper lab function and laboratory productivity, and will help the lab practice consistent methodology for years to come. In doing this project, not only will I learn the ins and outs of varied laboratory procedures/techniques, but I will benefit both undergraduate and graduate students alike who will utilize this resource as a reference.
