PSU and OHSU research
About Us I am interning with the Gibbs lab at OHSU via the Strongin lab at PSU to conduct research on nerve dyes. We will synthesize many different variations of nerve dyes for testing, and possible use in fluorescence guided surgeries. The aim is to help aid surgeons during surgery by making nerves visible and preventing unnecessary cutting of nerves. I help out with synthesis, extraction and purification of compounds in the lab, which are then tested by other team members.

The Strongin lab at PSU started in 2007, Dr. Strongin is a professor of Organic Chemistry at PSU. The Gibbs lab at OHSU started in 2012, Dr. Gibbs is an associate professor of Biomedical Engineering at OHSU school of medicine. I have learned so much in the short time interning with the wonderful team at the Lab, I am eager and excited to learn more and help with part of this appreciable project.
