Managed correspondence on various research projects Performed data entry using Excel spread sheets ensuring complete and accurate database entry Perform basic laboratory functions; running gel electrophoresis, cell culture, PCR, developing plasmids Conducted literature searches/maintenance of reference databases Presented research at conferences and Scholarship Day and American Society of Cell Biology Conference Abstract: Leishmania braziliensis, the causative agent of leishmaniasis, is a New World pathogen and currently, the only Leishmania genome sequenced from the Vienna species group. Our goal is to understand how gene expression in these parasites results in the change in the morphological forms of the parasite during its life-cycle. In a previous study, we found, using bioinformatics, the presence of potential microRNAs in these parasites. To show these microRNAs experimentally we did deep sequencing of the small RNAs in L. braziliensis. Here we show our progress in discovering the sequences of this small RNA library.
