    PUMA-STEM Summer 2021 Faculty Research Descriptions Biology: Name of Mentor: Jim Fackenthal, PhD Institution: Benedictine University Department: Department of Biological Sciences i. Please share a description of the research project the student will work on. Students in the Fackenthal group study regulation of tumor suppressor genes at the level of alternate mRNA splicing. Students will use cancer and non-cancer derived tissue culture cells to learn basic cell culture techniques, end-point and quantitative RT-PCR, ELISA, and flow cytometry. We explore the effects of DNA damage repair pathways and epigenetic genomic modifications on regulation of alternative splicing, cancer risk models, and therapy outcome predictions. Research could be in-person or remote at Benedictine University. Name of Mentor: Leigh Anne Harden, PhD Institution: Benedictine University Department: Department of Biological Sciences i. Please share a description of the research proJect the student will work on. The Harden Lab conducts integrative ecological research on reptiles and amphibians (herps). Our lab’s central research questions revolve around of how these organisms function and interact with their increasingly modified environment, by studying them on a physiological, behavioral, and spatial/temporal level. We use field-intensive (e.g. aquatic surveys) and laboratory-based (e.g. ELISAs, microscopy) approaches to investigate how abiotic factors influence the physiology, behavior, and habitat preferences of herps, with applications to their conservation and management. Research would be in-person/field research at Benedictine University. Name of Mentor: Tiara Perez Morales, PhD Institution: Benedictine University Department: Department of Biological Sciences i.
