Honeybee Venom Interaction With Mast Cells and Second Allergic Response

For my thesis, Professor Florsheim and I decided to focus on building lab experience in preparation for my master’s thesis. This included reading various research papers, starting a mast cell culture, and learning techniques essential for lab work. Additionally, I would conduct presentations and work with my peers to learn about various testing methods and components of the lab. One of the most crucial components of this experience included learning about how to collect bone marrow mast cells including how to properly sacrifice a mouse. My final product is the grant proposal which is what my focus will be for my master’s year.
