The Effects of Deicers on the Environment: Impact on Freshwater Algal and Protozoan Communities
Using salt as road deicer is affecting aquatic life and freshwater supplies could be threatened in a near future. The purpose of this work is to determine how deicers affects these microorganisms and their effects on environment.

Microorganisms Associated with Chicha Fermentation
In South America the consumption of fermented drinks dates from ancestral times. The most recognize drink is the “Chicha”, a popular fermented drink made from cereals, fruits and tubercles. This studies analyze the presence and association of microorganism involve in the process of fermentation of these drinks. How they interact between communities and their involvement with the conservation of food. And how helpful is the interaction between humans and the health advantages that they promote.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a Possible Treatment for Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and cell-based therapy for stroke, frequently studied in recent years, has shown promising results. The central nervous system (CNS) cannot regenerate itself by nature. For neural tissue damage repair, neural stem cell (NSC) implantation offers a promising solution. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have displayed capabilities in regenerative therapy for the treatment of stroke, as a ready supply of angiogenesis, antiapoptotic, and mitogenic factors and for their ability to migrate in damaged tissue and differentiate into neuronal cells.

Genome Editing: New Tools for Treatment of Diseases
There are many tools for the process of bioengineering, such as ZFN, TALENs, CRISPR/Cas systems, and two recently synthesized new editing tools, NgAgo and SGN (Malankhanova, Malakhova, Medvedev, & Zakian, 2017). But the most frequently used instrument for genome editing is the CRISPR/Cas9 system, as many research studies show it is being used in cancer research, in x-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), RNA associated diseases, Huntington’s disease, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, just to name a few. It is even being implemented to treat infectious diseases such as HIV.

LIPID MEASUREMENT OF CHLORELLA VULGARIS CULTURED IN DIFFERENT GROWTH MEDIUMS
We are living in a world in energy crisis and with fear of what would happen now and in the future with global warming and climate change, it is important to consider environmental friendly alternatives such as the cultivation of microalgae. Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms, while they growth they reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO2 making microalgae an effective environmental alternative.

DNA Fingerprinting Using Restriction Enzymes (Capstone Project)
DNA fingerprinting is a genetic typing technique that allows the analysis of the genomic relatedness between samples, and the comparison of DNA patterns (Heras, 2016). DNA samples were collected from a crime scene and two suspects, using restriction enzymes (EcoRI, HindIII) the samples were cut and analyzed with agarose gel electrophoresis. A standard curve was generated and the molecular weight (size) of the fragments were calculated and analyzed.
