Analysis Of Ritalin Addiction And Recovery From Both A Physical And Psychological Lens, Nicole Madrigal, Tyler Marshall Nov 2021

Analysis Of Ritalin Addiction And Recovery From Both A Physical And Psychological Lens, Nicole Madrigal, Tyler Marshall

Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry

We will investigate the physical impacts, both short and long-term effects, of substance use. In doing so, we will frame an argument for the substance's addictive properties as it relates to both its physically addictive and sociological addictive properties. In doing so, a stronger understanding of how an individual can move through the stages of substance use, to abuse, and finally addiction will be reviewed. We will then address current treatment strategies for the substance and how they address or fail to address both the physical and sociological impacts of its use.

So, You Want To Take Zoloft (Sertraline)?: A Biological & Psychological Analysis, Hailey Lux, Mackenzie Harry

Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry

A lot of individuals around the world suffer with panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). One drug that has been found to significantly decrease these feelings of stress is Sertraline. Sertraline has been proven to increase quality of life among individuals with certain mental health disorders.

However, we will be talking about how in extreme causes sertraline could become addictive and have withdrawal side effects. Furthermore, during this poster presentation we will be discussing how sertraline is not an …


Adaptation Of Pt-Dna Binding Experiments Into A Multiweek Upperlevel Biochemistry Laboratory Activity, Keira Naff Nov 2020

Adaptation Of Pt-Dna Binding Experiments Into A Multiweek Upperlevel Biochemistry Laboratory Activity, Keira Naff

Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry

Platinum-based drugs are commonly used as anti-cancer therapeutics due to their abilities to bind to DNA and prohibit proliferation in cells. Although the concept of drug interactions within biomolecules is often introduced in undergraduate courses such as biochemistry and toxicology, there are very few laboratory activities that exist that provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to investigate this topic in the lab. During the Summer 2020 PRISM program, we worked to create a multi-week laboratory activity for upper-level biochemistry students focused on the investigation of the DNA binding abilities of common Pt anticancer therapeutics through biochemical modeling and wet laboratory …
