Internship
Number of internships I've had during my time in MET
What is 4?
This harmful substance is commonly found in grains and was the focus of the portable sensor project.
What is a mycotoxin?
Profession I aim to pursue after earning my undergraduate degree.
What is Doctor?
(Extra 100 point if you can guess the speciality.)
The only letter not found in any element’s symbol.
What is J?
Name of my current mentor/Lab Partner.
Karishma
This type of DNA strand was used in the sensor to specifically bind to OTA.
What is an aptamer?
University I plan to attend
What is University of Manitoba?
This shape describes the structure of DNA.
What is a double helix?
Name of one of my internships in the past, bonus if you can name all.
What is...
1. Teachers Assistant at King Edward School
2. Graphic Designer at Manitoba Arts Network
3. Pediatric Surgeon Intern at Health Science Center
4. Research Assitant at Bioanalytical and Electrochemical Sensing Lab | University of Manitoba
This circuit board gave the most consistent signals and best fit with the sensor during testing.
What is Circuit C?
Position I placed at MSSS.
What is Gold?
(bonus if you can tell me what award I got)
hint: there are 2
This is the term for different versions of the same gene that can result in variations of a trait.
What are alleles?
This voltammetry method, used during circuit board testing, involves applying a repeating waveform that steps the potential up and down rapidly, helping identify redox activity with high sensitivity and was crucial in evaluating sensor performance using ferrocene methanol.
- SWV – Square Wave Voltammetry
→ Sends quick, square-shaped voltage pulses and measures the current to get detailed results.
This electrochemical technique was used to evaluate how well each circuit board and sensor performed.
What is cyclic voltammetry (CV)?
Name of degree I'm currently enrolled to take.
What is General Science?
The four bases in DNA.
What are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine?
This type of electrode, commonly used as a stable reference in electrochemical cells, contains a silver wire coated with silver chloride and is filled with saturated potassium chloride solution to minimize junction potential.
What is the Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode?
The sensor developed in this project can detect OTA at concentrations as low as this qualified limit.
What is 1 micromolar (1 µM)?
Number of papers I have co-written in the past four years and number of published amount.
Published: 1 (HSC Case Report)
Written: 3 Academic Papers
This is the only metal that's liquid at room temperature.
What is mercury?
