I designed experiments and protocols, established assays, and ran pilot experiments to grow L-cells and reovirus and to study the effects of cannabinoids on intestinal and systemic reovirus pathogenesis in mice under the direction of Dr. Jan Serie . As a final paper I prepared a research proposal involving a fictitious cannabinoid agonist. I studied the effects of opioids and cannabinoids on inflammatory mediator-induced ion transport in the porcine ileum under the direction of Dr. David R. Brown in the Dept. of Veterinary PathioBiology and attended graduate school preparation workshops. I completed an original research project in conjunction with my physiology lab in which I studied the effects of induced stress on gut bacterial translocation in mice under the direction of Dr. Lin Aanonsen . I performed experiments to determine if a fructooligosaccharides, a oligosaccharide that humans can not digest, could promote the growth of the probiot bifidobacteria at the expense of the pathogen Clostridium perfringens under the direction of Dr. Linda J. Brady in the Dept. of Food Science and Nutrition .
