dc.description.abstractOver the summer, I focused on culturing human dermal fibroblasts and writing sections for a review on nanotechnology and its uses during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the dermal fibroblasts, I seeded cells into flasks and took care of them so they could grow well without contamination. Once the flasks had a high enough cell density, I extracted the cells and stored them in liquid nitrogen. I kept a few from the passage to grow more batches. For the COVID-19 review, one of the sections I researched for was on mRNA vaccines and their utilizations of lipid nanoparticles. I primarily focused on the efficacy of using lipid nanoparticles and potential toxic effects of implementing lipid nanoparticles.en_US
