Anti-Cancer Drug Screening Of Dual Tubulin And Hsp27 Inhibitors With 2d And 3d Lung Cancer Cell Assays, Janine Maria Naim, Rati Lama

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. The current treatment options available for lung cancer are limited and have drawbacks such as poor bioavailability, numerous side effects, poor efficacy and drug resistance. 3D model serve as a novel approach for drug screening purposes and the evaluation of compounds in the platform can help identify potent compounds for further in vivo xenograft studies.

Normalizing For Noise Removal From Electrocardiogram Signals, Dominique Diamond Brooks, Daniel J. Simon

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Electrocardiography (ECG) measures the electrical impulse of the heart over time using electrodes that attached to the body. Designing a computational program using a synthetic ECG to test Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) filter serves as a basis to remove noise from the signal.

Investigating Axonal Biology Using Microfluidic Devices, James Deyling, Brittany Kastan

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

During nervous system development, various diffusing biomolecules play a critical role in neurite outgrowth and guidance, resulting in the formation of a complex circuitry. However, the precise mechanism by which these molecules are spatio-temporally delivered to the growing tip of the neurites is unclear. Overall, the results suggest to the utility of this device for studying neurobiology, tissue engineering and cell migration.

Understanding The Structure Of High Density Lipoprotein, Dmitriy Parshakov, Kayla T. Tran

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

The high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the carrier of ‘good cholesterol’, transports cholesterol from periphery cells to liver for catabolism, a process termed reverse cholesterol transport. In this project we focused on obtaining and characterizing HDL particles.

Key Players In Reverse Cholesterol Transport: The Plasma Enzyme Lcat, Christopher J. Pechura

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is a plasma enzyme that remodels nascent high density lipoprotein (HDL) into a mature form called spherical HDL. The model will be used in the future to map the amino acid residues from LCAT and the protein component of nascent HDL (apoA1) involved in mutual interaction, and to identify LCAT residues interacting with the lipid phase of nascent HDL.

Biological Evaluation Of Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor Nimesulide Derivatives As Anti-Agents, Amandeep Singh, Snigdha Chennamaneni

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor nimesulide inhibits the proliferation of various types of cancer cells mainly via COX-2 independent mechanisms, which makes it a good lead compound for anti-cancer drug development. A series of new nimesulide analogs were evaluated with cell proliferation assay based on a non-small lung cancer cell line H292. The results showed that several derivatives were very active to against H292 cell growth with IC50s of sub nano mole. These results suggest the possibility of using these nimesulide derivatives as chemo preventive agents.

Simulation And Control Of An Intelligent Prosthetic Knee With Biogeography-Based Optimization, George L. Thomas

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Traditional, passive leg prostheses for transfemoral amputees require the user to produce unnaturally large actuations in order to walk. The resulting motions can cause joint degeneration and arthritis. To avoid this, a semi-active prosthetic knee using hydraulics to store and release energy has been developed. In our work this summer, we have improved upon a previous simulation model for this leg, and we have developed preliminary valve control results in this simulation software with BBO.
