MET Professional Academy

The MET Professional Academy and CAPS programs across the country are deeply impacted by each student who engages in the CAPS experience. We love to tell the stories of the incredible experiences our student associates have while in their programs. Now, we want to hear the stories of our awesome alumni network!   Where are you now? How has your CAPS experience shaped your studies and career? Your story means the world to us. It will help us ensure that we continue to serve all our stakeholders.    We are looking for CAPS alumni at all stages of their post-CAPS experience to share with us by taking this quick survey. https://lnkd.in/g7bAZT5S   #capsnet #capsnetworkalumni #METProfessionalAcademy

I had an amazing opportunity to work with my MET bioscience peers on our independent research project! I am very interested in pursuing research more extensively in the future, and this project served as a crucial first step into the necessary skills such as developing a protocol, gathering and analyzing data, and effectively presenting the information with our scientific research poster. For our research, we investigated how temperature affects PCR product (Polymerase Chain Reaction product) clarity and resolution after gel electrophoresis. Our project contributes to research about optimal PCR product storage to produce clear results for analysis in fields such as bioscience and forensic science. I would like to thank the MET Professional Academy for providing me the skills and confidence to take on this project, Ms. Kristine Record for her unwavering guidance, advice, and support, and my teammates for making this project possible!
