| I am Ameer Farrukh. I am attending Holy Heart of Mary High School as a grade 12 student. I enjoy playing soccer and also swimming. I volunteer at the local Janeway Hospital and as a tutor. In school, I enjoy every science subject as well as mathematics, and currently am a dual-enrollment student, taking courses at Memorial University. I intend to hopefully pursue a degree in biochemistry or Chemical Engineering, and then proceed on to completing my degree in Medicine. I hope to become a Cardiologist in the future. This specifically inspired me to complete a project related to biochemistry and biology, in the field of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, which was related to the Health and Toxicology of the Heart. I am particularly astounded by the heart's vital role, and this motivated me to complete a related project. I plan to expand this project in the future, and hopefully use it as a diagnosis technique to better detect cardiotoxicity. I hope I can expand my project and implement new biomarkers to detect various conditions within the heart. Personally, completing a project requires patience, motivation, and trust in yourself that everything will work out if you dedicate and work hard. |

Implementing Biomarkers in Cardiomyocyte Cells for the use in Cardiotoxicity Scr
| Défi: | Santé | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Eastern Newfoundland | | Ville: | St. John's, NL | | École: | Holy Heart High School | | Sommaire: | This project focuses on studying cardiotoxicity within cardiomyocytes, with the use of implementing relevant imported biomarkers for its use in screening tests. It implemented a biomarker, through viral infection, called mKeima which studied and detected mitophagy and mitochondrial degradation during cardiotoxicity. We also implemented a GCaMP indicator for its use in studying calcium ion muscle contraction. |
