Different studies show that TDP-43 plays a major role in association with other neurological diseases, however, we want to test why TDP-43 is a major factor. We injected a mouse with TDP-43 and injected another mouse with Alzheimer's Disease. The two mice were watched for more than over a month now. We used the mice's pellets to conduct the different tests we ran. We sonicatied the different mice pellets for a 1 min 20 minutes with a 5 sec pulse and 5 sec off cycle. Once the sonication was done, we transferred the sonicated pellets to the centrifuge machine which ran for about 35 minutes. Other graduate students began to compare results from these batches of pellets to the others that they tested to see the difference or similarities. These results showed us that the Alzheimer's disease mouse model that we developed over expresses pathological tau and TDP-43.

Welcome to Delaware State University’s Annual Summer Research Symposium, and thank you for attending! Our symposium represents the culmination of students’ summer experiences in research at Delaware State University. This event showcases the work of college students working on faculty-led research projects, as well as middle and high school students experiencing research for the first time working in research groups. Whatever the case, this summer has been a unique experience for the students, and we hope a transformative one. Even for students who are not planning a career in scientific research, their summer experience has given them skills they will draw on for years to come. 
 Please join us on the mainstage and in Gather for the live event, and visit the recorded poster presentations any time.
 The student participants and organizers of the various summer programs at DSU would like to thank all of the research mentors who guided our summer program participants. There were many DSU faculty, graduate students, and other research and program staff who gave their time and energy to help our students have a fun and educational summer experience. Without their generosity and patience these summer programs would not be possible.
 For the research participants, we hope that you will maintain contact with your research mentors and colleagues. Science is a relatively small community made up of disciplinary “neighborhoods”. If you continue to work in a discipline, the other folks in that discipline will be like your neighbors that you run into regularly. Staying in contact with them will help you keep up with the news of the neighborhood, and open doors to educational and career opportunities. Whether you continue in science or take a different career path, for this summer you have been part of the world of research, and you will benefit from that perspective for the rest of your life.
