MQP Finale
This year we had two groups of MQP students. Bailey Sweet and Michael Savoie researched “Using Beta-Endorphin as an Opioid Addiction Model in C. elegans,” to establish a paradigm for using C. elegans in investigating the effects of Beta-endorphins as a substitute for opioids.
Jane Lockery investigated “Sex Pheromone Attracted Response in C. elegans and Related Species,” to see if an attractive pheromone illicits a species specific response.
