Photo spamming once again for the sake of reminding myself to sustain this blog.



Went for IMCB from Tues-Thurs for Microbial Quorum Sensing. Was a pretty interesting experience albeit us slacking most of the time. Giving a brief overview for those who do care, microbial quorum's basically the study of quorum sensing mechanisms and bacterial signally that synchronize a certain gene expression. They coordinate a range of important biological functions, in particular, virulence and biofilm formation. So basically we did alot of experiments on agarose gels to identify the specific bacterial pathogens and test for their prescence after culturing them.



Our agarose gels and stuff. The attachment was quite cool in that sense that is develops the possibility of applying cell signalling into quorum quenching to degenerate and weaken the biofilm layers on top of using antibiotics to control infectious diseases which would result in a much higher efficiency.



Picture with my funky lab partner Helena from SCGS. :D We pwn! And of course the other pictures with Celest Valerie Deborah Shijie so yes. Not used to photo spamming photos of myself anymore for some queer reason so all the same. Somehow don't feel like going back to school after all these (sounds painful with the mere mention of it) but yeah. Sadly, life goes on.
