Effects of stress hormones and thyroid hormones on tadpole program cell death and resorption.
During my research fellowship experience I worked with Dr. Schreiber, in the Biology department, on tying the relationship between stress/growth hormones on program cell death and resorption in xenopus leavis tadpoles. The experience, although educational and fun, proved to be challenging as the process of conducting the investigation stressed on developing skills such as patience, precision, and problem solving. We haven't concluded our investigations so we will continue with the research during the school year.
