The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) encodes a cancer-causing protein, E7, that degrades a known tumor suppressor retinoblastoma (pRb). This project studied the role of polarity in high-risk HPV16 E7...

Canis latrans, or the coyote, is a resilient species whose populations are currently expanding into Central America potentially creating harmful repercussions for local wildlife. The increasing...

The ELOVL4 enzyme is required to generate very long-chain fatty acids with structural and functional importance in the retina. Genetic defects in ELOVL4 are responsible for Stargardt’s disease...

In the COVID-19 pandemic many students faced social isolation, online schooling, and stressful experiences that led to new highs in depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and loneliness. This study...

Nitrogen-metallocyclic carbenes (NMCs) are a new class of molecules to be studied in recent years that provide the capacity to be used in the development of new electronic materials or catalysts. My...

With the fast-paced evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria around the globe comes the emergence of novel genes which confer these resistances, usually located on supplemental DNA known as plasmids...

This project studied how the women in the Imperial Ottoman Harem during the reign of Sueliman I were portrayed in the modern Turkish television series 'Magnificent Century.' The series contained three...

Bacteriophage Lambda is a complex virus containing a capsule-like structure known as a procapsid. In a lab setting, plasmids are used to synthesize these structures, but previous experimentation has...

Deadlifting is a common powerlifting exercise that is primarily used to strengthen muscles in the trunk and lower extremities. This comparative analysis helps identify the changes in biomechanics due...

Citrus Greening Disease is a bacterial disease from the organism Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Citrus greening affects tree health as well as fruit development, ripening and quality...

Natural products are small organic molecules which are presumed to increase the overall fitness of an organism. Their synthesis is encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters wherein analogous sequences can...

This study assessed the PLNU Wellness Center employees’ knowledge of the physical activity guidelines, personal levels of physical activity, and confidence in discussing physical activity. This study...

Memento Vivere is a curated collection of Virginia K. Anderson (my great grandmother’s), poetry. This collection was put together through archival research, editorial work involved in the creation of...
