I'm going to start my MsC Biology at McMaster University (Ontario). As a potential supervisor at University of Toronto's Pharmacology Program said, "Given that you're from a liberal arts university, it's good to gather research experience through the Masters program before focusing on Pharmacology." With that in mind, I'm going to be working with a bacterial gene called Rpos, which is encoded to help bacteria cope with environmental stresses. The lab will employ bioinformatics to study gene variations in E. coli in water samples at the Niagara Region. I'm already hoping to add a clinical aspect to all this somehow, and I've already read a few papers to get some idea to that end! I know a lot of PCR and bacterial culturing will be in store as I start my Masters.
In a broader sense, being involved with research in the medical sciences is really cool. As for specifics, I'm not too sure yet. I have pharmacology and toxicology, biomedical sciences, and general medical sciences at my sights.
