I was excited about the opportunity to really focus on my research projects and other involvements on campus this summer. It is much easier to make a lot of progress when I do not also have to balance schoolwork and other commitments! The Seifert Scholars program is a great opportunity for anyone who is involved with research at EPIC, and I am grateful for the generosity of the Seifert family, which has made this possible. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My research this summer has focused on exploring some of the genetic and epigenetic basis for increased drug resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus. Our current model suggests that thermal tolerance adaptation leads to drug resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus. I am testing the effects of various drugs including cell wall stressors in strains that are adapted at increased temperature to understand the mechanisms behind these adaptations.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The summer research program has allowed me to focus on my research and delve deep into the scientific questions. As the research is time intensive, the Seifert Scholars program has allowed me to focus on research which would have been otherwise challenging. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While I still have two years left until graduation, I aspire to matriculate into an MD-PhD program upon the completion of my bachelor’s degree at Clemson. During my time here, I will continue with my coursework and research, and hope to also see some of my other initiatives take off, such as a non-profit that will provide exciting STEM experiential learning for underserved rural communities across the state!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
