Megan Barscheski

Salutations! I am an exceedingly determined bioengineer, ambitiously pursuing the undertaking of helping humanity. Having obtained a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, from Keystone College (La Plume, Pa) and actively working towards an M.S. in Bioengineering from Wilkes University (Wilkes-Barre, Pa), my interests have expanded from learning the basics of biology into an absolute amazement for everything living. Biogerontology and personalized healthcare may be my truest callings. With my thesis work involving the serum profiling of pro- and anti- inflammatory miRNAs in the 3x Alzheimers disease mouse model, I am hoping to gain insight into how inflammaging affects the organism as a whole, as well as its role in AD progression, and lay a foundation for future miRNA aging research. I have completed course work in microbiology, virology, immunology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology, cellular biophysics, instrumental analysis, bioethics, statistics, and molecular and cellular bioengineering. I have completed a research-based capstone project, conducted independent research, and currently working on a research-based thesis. Academic laboratory setting experience 5+ years.
