RELATED PROJECT & LAB EXPERIENCE
Experimental Chemistry 1- Instrumental Analysis – WPI – Worcester, MA
Aug. – Oct. 2013
Practical experience was gained in Quantitative electrochemistry, UV spectrophotometry, fluorometry and
bioluminescence, HPLC, and capillary electrophoresis. A student team developed experiments for a chemical,
biochemical or environmental problem, analyzed results and presented findings.
Experimental Chemistry 2 – WPI – Worcester, MA
Oct. – Dec. 2013
Gained experience with many of the instruments that they are likely to use in any chemical laboratory setting. These
include optical spectrometers, vacuum lines, molecular modeling workstations and calorimeters.
Molecular Genetics Lab – WPI – Worcester, MA
Jan. – Mar. 2014
The topic of gene therapy was used to familiarize the student with computer cloning and manipulations of biological
sequence information.
Organic Laboratory – WPI – Worcester, MA
Aug. – Oct. 2014
Laboratory experience gained in the preparation, purification, and characterization of organic substances. The course
also contained sufficient training in laboratory techniques and data handling.

2. ANGELA DAVIS PAGE 2
Experimental Biochemistry I – WPI – Worcester, MA
Oct. – Dec. 2014
The course covered protein purification, subcellular fractionation, enzyme kinetics (Km, Vmax, specific activity,
effector-protein interaction, etc.), exclusion and ion exchange chromatography, and electrophoresis.
Experimental Biochemistry II – WPI – Worcester, MA
Mar. – May 2015
This course focused on manipulating Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). Topics included gene amplification and
recombination, promoter and plasmid engineering, gene expression and analysis, model systems, genomics and
transgenics. Experiments in this course were integrated into an overall genetic engineering project throughout the
term that involved techniques such as electrophoresis,quantitativespectrofluorimetry,and real -time quantitative PCR.
Senior Year Major Qualifying Project (MQP) – WPI Dept. of Biology and Biotechnology – Worcester, MA
Oct. 2014 – May 2015
This project looked into the effects of individual phytoestrogens on LNCaP prostate cancer cells. WPI has a history of
this projectbut usingbreastcancer cells.My group was hoping to find any similar effects with LNCaP cells. Techniques
used include cell culture, solution preparation, MTT assays, Western blotting/immunoblotting, ELISA and Bradford
assays. This was a student led research project with the help of faculty advisors in the Department of Biology and
Biotechnology at WPI.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
I have always loved working in a lab environment doing experiments and solving problems. My goal is to earn my PhD
in biochemistry and start a career in research. My research interests include cancer, genetics, gene therapy, neuro-
degenerative diseases, stem cells, forensics and more. Anything I can be a part of in science that will help people in
some way is a success as well as any experience I can gain along the way in the lab, in research, and in team work.
