My Project and Essential Question
As a part of the Honors Mentorship Program, I have had the opportunity to intern at a Biomedical Engineering company called Aziyo/CorMatrix Biologics. I have experimented with extracellular matrix tissue, written my own protocol and follow-up report, and operated machinery independently! Additionally, I have improved proper communication and problem solving skills. This was truly a great experience where I learned real life skills. I hope to apply my new-found knowledge to my community in the future. I based my year-long research on the following question:
Do environmental conditions effect the normal functioning of extracellular matrix tissue and if so what material prevents this effect?
