My early involvement in science fairs in middle school sparked my interest in science. In addition, my father is a biologist so I have had ample opportunity to observe his work.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing a presentation on the Virginia-Nebraska Alliance from Dr. Mary McNamee, I decided to explore the opportunity for research and collaboration with other students and faculty.<\/p>\n<p>During my summer, I have been working on community-based research with Dr. Phyllis Nsiah-Kumi. The project analyzes parent perceptions of their children&#8217;s risk of developing Type 2 diabetes during their lifetime. Also, I researched parental perceptions of water consumption&#8217;s impact on health.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout this experience, I have learned a lot about community based research and health disparities. Also, I have gained a lot of information about diabetes. In addition, I have had the opportunity to gain new friends. The Virginia-Nebraska Alliance is a great opportunity for students and faculty. This has been a life-changing experience for me and I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p>My immediate plans include a return to UNMC. I have been accepted to the College of Medicine Post Baccalaureate program, so I&#8217;m moving to Omaha this fall for classes. My goal is to become a surgeon or family practice physician.<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/VANE08Jackie.jpg\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"picture disc.\"><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<font face=\"arial\" size=\"1\"><br \/>\nJackie Watson<br \/>\n<\/FONT><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<\/TABLE><B>Jackie Watson, a graduate student from Hampton University<\/B><\/p>\n<p>I grew up in Charlotte, N.C. I have always been curious about the mysteries of science. My grandfather has diabetes and as a child I didn&#8217;t understand his disease. Besides diabetes, I also am curious about HIV and cancer. Those diseases can be so devastating, particularly to African-American communities.<\/p>\n<p>Because I wanted to research cancer, I was excited to be part of the Virginia-Nebraska Alliance. This summer, I&#8217;ve been working in Dr. Surinder Batra&#8217;s lab researching pancreatic cancer and the effects of EFGR on pancreatic cancer cells.<\/p>\n<p>My summer experience taught me a lot about research protocols. I have developed an appreciation for research and its importance. Most of all, I&#8217;ve learned patience!<\/p>\n<p>In the future, I plan to pursue medical school with the ultimate goal of either becoming a trauma surgeon or practicing internal medicine in an underserved area. I would like to give back to my community and help patients who don&#8217;t have insurance. Just because they can&#8217;t afford insurance, they should not be without great medical care.<\/p>\n<p>The Virginia-Nebraska Alliance program was an excellent and life-changing opportunity that will help me prepare for medical school. It also is a necessary program to aid the increase in the number of minority health care professionals.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m blessed to have gained this remarkable experience. This has made me a more competitive applicant for medical school. In addition, it is something that I&#8217;ll value for the rest of my life. Hopefully, more students will be granted this opportunity in years to come.<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/VANE08Irene.jpg\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"picture disc.\"><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<font face=\"arial\" size=\"1\"><br \/>\nIrene Amoah<br \/>\n<\/FONT><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<\/TABLE><B>Irene Amoah, a junior biology major at Virginia State University<\/B><\/p>\n<p>I grew up in Ghana, West Africa. I have always had a love and curiosity about nature. For me, it is an inherent obsession with finding out why certain things occur.<\/p>\n<p>I heard about the Virginia-Nebraska Alliance from a classmate and jumped at the opportunity to spend a summer doing research in a lab at UNMC. I have worked in a lab at Virginia State University but I have learned a new set of research skills this summer at UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>This has been an awesome summer. I enjoyed traveling to Yellowstone National Park to collect microbial samples. My research project included isolating these samples, lysing them for proteins and running the samples through mass spectonomy. I am specifically looking for proteins that produce color. My mentor, Laurie Steinke, is wonderful. I have learned so much from her.<\/p>\n<p>Through my summer experience at UNMC, I&#8217;ve learned new research techniques, basic science and received introductions to classes that I&#8217;ll take this fall. In addition, I&#8217;ve learned how to plan, organize and record research records.<\/p>\n<p>My future goals include either pursuing medical school or a research career. I really love working in a lab.<\/p>\n<p>The VA-NE Alliance program has been intensely educational, a priceless experience and above all, fun!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In June, several Virginia scholars packed their bags and traveled hundreds of miles to spend 12 weeks in a UNMC laboratory.
