Student Responsibilities
Conduct spectroscopic studies (circular dichroism, fluorescence) on amyloid beta peptides to understand the structural basis for neurotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease. The student will need to work 10 hours per week, for one semester, to complete the project.
Time Commitment
10 hours per week hour(s)
Student Requirements
The student is supposed to have at least two 5-hour time windows or three 3.5-hour time windows per week to do two-three experiments total per week, i.e. one experiment per a 5-hour or 3.5-hour time period. Coming to the lab for 1-2 hours will not allow the student to start and finish an experiment.
