<Title>Researcher of the Week: Caroline Larkin</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>Meet Caroline,</div><div><br></div><div>She is a <a href="http://biology.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bioinformatics and Computational Biology</a> major as well as a <a href="http://meyerhoff.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Meyerhoff Scholar</a>. She is heavily involved in Golden Key International Society and also plays soccer. Much of her extracurricular time is spent at Blue Crab CrossFit, where she works out almost every day. Her future goal is to eventually earn a Ph.D. in Computational Genetics and hopefully one day run a research lab that utilizes computational methods to better understand the genetic basis of many diseases such as Crohn’s Disease.</div><div><br></div><div>Her research involves in the study of heterogeneous cancer phenotypes. Cancer is a disease arising from a variety of sub-clonal tumor cells dynamically interacting within themselves and the surrounding environment. Sub-clonal tumor heterogeneity is a relatively new aspect of cancer, and its understanding is essential for the development of cancer therapeutics. To better understand the dynamics of sub-clonal tumor heterogeneity, we developed a computational framework to construct non-spatial, dynamic mathematical models of tumor heterogeneity. </div><div><br></div><div>Read more about her research here…</div><div><br></div></div>

    <div class="html-content"><div>Meet Niara,</div><div>She is a <a href="http://mathstat.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Mathematics</a> major and an independent researcher. Besides conducting research, Niara is an advocate for the research process. Her advice to students new to research is to dive in, "<em>...don't be intimidated. The best way to learn is by doing.</em>" She did not have any experience with 3D printing prior to working at the PAD lab. Now, she has several publications and is teaching professionals how to 3D print in their field. She adds "<em>There are no limitations to what you can do.</em>"</div><div><br></div><div>The goal of her research is to use three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to empower therapists to create customizable and inexpensive assistive technology for patients. Therapists can use medical expertise to tailor adaptations to existing assistive technologies, but current efforts to customize assistive technology are limited to materials like tape, clay, Velcro, and foam padding. She plans to familiarize medical professionals with 3D printing to make highly specific modifications to assistive devices and provide them with software to make 3D models. </div><div><br></div><div>Read more about her research here…</div></div>

If research is in your future, Himadri recommends getting started in the process early on so that you have enough time to get involved in a lab, learn and discover if research is your passion. Her future plans are to pursue a career as a physician, possibly specializing in the field of Neurology.</p><p>Her research involves in examining stress-induced analgesia (SIA), the phenomenon in which exposure to intense stress suppresses the perception of pain. From an evolutionary perspective, SIA is part of the adaptive fight-or-flight response mediated by the sympathetic nervous system that enhances an individual’s ability to survive a crisis situation; pain suppression is a critical component of this response as it enables individuals to escape a threat even if they have sustained an injury.</p><p>Read more about her research here…</p></div>
