Brandy Snowden , Biology freshman major and SMART fellow-SUBR

I am first year SUBR- chemistry major performing discovery research under the mentorship of Dr. Gray. My research project involved analyzing compound that may contaminate a “ Sabatier Reactor” using Gas Chromatography. This research uses GC to determine if known trace air contaminants present on spacecraft atmosphere will reduce the catalytic efficiency of “ Sabatier Reactors”

Leroy Hubert, Chemistry senior and SMART-LAMP fellow-SUBR

I obtain my BS in chemistry from SUBR, 2002. During my undergraduate year I work with Dr. Gray as a undergraduate researcher starting in my freshman year. Research project involves the synthesis of a biotin-resveratrol derivative in order to study resveratrol/estrogen receptor relationships in cardiovascular disease.

Monique Pierre , chemistry major and LAMP fellow-SUBR

I performed my senior research project and honor thesis in Dr. Gray's laboratory in 2002-2003. Project involves studying the interaction of transcriptional activator with the estrogen receptor. I have transfected various doses of AIB1, and estrogen receptor coactivator, into MCF-7 cells to determine at what level the overexpression of AIB1 disrupts cellular functioning and activity of p21 promoter.

Catrina Woods , senior chemistry major, graduated in 2002

I performed my senior research project in Dr. Gray's laboratory in 2000-2001. My project involves studying the effects of phytoestrogen on 5- a -reductase Type II in expression in mice.

Sadiat Olatunbosum, Chemistry major, junior (current student)
Project involves molecular approach to phytoremediation.

Sheri Reed , Biology freshman major and SMART fellow -SUBR
Project involved mapping and identification of phytoestrogen induce secretory protein from LnCaP prostate cancer cells using MALDI-TOF-MS . 

Katina Beverly , Biology majors, LAMP fellow
Working on a common project that involves methods development. They are developing a QRT-PCR competitor that may be used to measure two to three estrogen-dependent genes at the same time.

Francis Standberry, Biology major
Project involved an examination of the phytoestrogen content of dietary supplement-Metabolife 356.

Brandy Perkins , sophomore in Chemistry
She worked on the phytoestrogen project. The purpose of Brandy's project is to help her gain experience with routine laboratory assay and provide her with the opportunity to generate experimental data that can be used to make poster presentation at national scientific meetings.

Deanna Jones , a senior in Chemistry
She Did her senior research projects in the laboratory. The project involved separation of Types I and II estrogen receptor.

Jamila Tillman, senior Chemistry major
She performed her senior research project in the laboratory. Her project involved using representational difference analysis to study phytoestrogen-dependent gene expression.

Jammaal Snell, High School senior
Performing his science fair project experiments. This project involves testing the effects of different antacids.

Cynthia Perry, 1999 NASA SHARP PLUS High School summer research student
Project involved studying the ability of phytoestrogen to bind with estrogen receptors in humans versus estrogen receptors in herbivores.

Julie Nguyen , High School senior
She performed research for her science fair project in the laboratory. Project involved the role of blood groups and genetic make up of individuals.
