Ogden College of Science and Engineering is excited to highlight our 2024-2025 Graduate Research Fellows! Rachel Foster, a native of Scottsville, Kentucky, received her bachelor’s degree from Transylvania University before returning to the Bowling Green area for her Master’s program in Biology. She currently does research in the lab of Dr. Joseph Marquardt in the Department of Biology. She has a passion for molecular and cellular biology and microbiology that came from an excellent professor at Transy, Dr. Duffin. These interests have cultivated an excellent mind for experimental design, troubleshooting, and data analysis that will set her up for success in the scientific field of her choice. Rachel’s current project is to investigate the molecular interactions of the morphogenesis checkpoint in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This checkpoint is critically important in coupling the cell growth machinery to that of mitosis and cell division. Errors in this pathway are easily screened by changes in the normal shape of the yeast cells. Homologs of the proteins in human cells have known mutations in various diseases such as cancer, male infertility, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s. Rachel’s fellowship will allow her to devote her full time to researching in the lab and applying state-of-the-art genome modification, fluorescent microscopy, and biochemistry to get an integrated approach to elucidating the complexities of the interacting partners of this pathway. She plans on finishing her master’s thesis by May of 2025 and wishes to pursue a Ph.D. in either molecular biology or microbiology. This unique funding opportunity serves to enable an enhanced research experience. Congratulations, Rachel!

Ogden College of Science and Engineering is excited to highlight our 2024-2025 Graduate Research Fellows! Kirstiana Brickman, a Master of Psychological Science student will focus her research efforts on neurocognition, language processing, and neuropsychological assessment. Her thesis work explores the electrophysiology of cognitive-linguistic sequela in the chronic stage of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery. Her goal is to bring together insight from standardized neuropsychological assessment and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, in hopes of furthering understanding of the presence and persistence of TBI effects across developmental stages and mechanism of injury. Kirstiana completed her B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Health Studies at Siena College in 2017, where she developed an interest in sensory and perceptual systems, neuropsychological assessment, and human behavior. Following her undergraduate studies, Kirstiana went on to assist neuropsychological assessments with patients across the lifespan, gaining experience in assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders, neurocognitive injuries, and aging related conditions. Looking ahead, Kirstiana aspires to complete a doctoral study in clinical psychology with focus in neuropsychological assessment and neurocognition. She holds interest in language and emotional processing in the context of social, emotional, and environmental stressors. This unique funding opportunity serves to enable an enhanced research experience. Congratulations, Kirstiana!
