Slides were counterstained in Mayer's Hematoxylin (Sigma #MHS16, St Louis, MO)
for 1 minute, washed in PBST, air dried, and cover slips applied with
aqueous mounting
media (Vector Labs # H - 5501, Burlingame, CA).
Her research includes collecting growth data
for bacteria exposed to nanoparticles, determining the mode of action by which nanoparticles intoxicate bacteria, and studying how association of nanoparticles with bacteria can alter the physical state of nanoparticles in
aqueous media.
