Rosaline has personally mentored two undergraduates and three masters’ students. She has strong experience as a mentor and values the development of students. Students who are available for multiple semesters are encouraged to reach out!!! Opportunities for university-level poster presentations in Spring 2025 following enthusiastic participation will be offered if interested. The selected student will also be invited to weekly all-member lab meetings. Rosaline also will also facilitate the selected students’ introduction to her PI, Dr. Rajesh Miranda. *Abigail Bowring is the Miranda Lab Manager and created this post for interested students on behalf of Rosaline Kumar. Please reach out to Abigail (abigail.bowring@tamu.edu) regarding this project! |

Team Needs:
|
Please expect training in lab… no previous bench/cell culture skills are required. Although a STEM background is helpful, it is not required. The selected student(s) will build their own schedule. To fill this position, you will need to commit 4 consecutive hours per week. Reliable transportation to the Texas A&M Medical Research Education Building is required. The lab is looking for students excited to learn and able to complete benchwork. |

Description:
|
Rosaline Kumar is a fourth year Medical Sciences doctoral candidate at the Texas A&M College of Medicine. Her project aims to examine the effects of alcohol and/or cannabinoid exposure on fetal neurosphere growth and development. The selected student(s) will be trained for in vitro alcohol/cannabinoid exposures, conduct qPCR and isolate cDNA/RNA, and maintain cell cultures. This project also offers formal animal handing training for mice, although most work will revolve around cell culture maintenance. This project is funded by the lab of Dr. Rajesh Miranda. |
