Ebonee Maxey

OSU Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP), (email @osu), or (email @famu)

Enthralled by the chance to learn new things and am constantly on a search for new knowledge. I am using site-directed mutagenesis, and transformation of bacterial cells to study the biochemistry of Cre Recombinase. I am learning proper laboratory protocols and other things that will support my goal to attend graduate school.
