JANUARY 5, 2023
Becoming an EMT was one of the best things to happen in my life. It was at a time when I was on a premed track in undergrad. There are so many prerequisites you need to check off prior to applying to medical school. From great grades, volunteering, having extracurriculars, to trying to get some research published. Out of all the things, becoming an EMT really unveiled what healthcare might truly have in store for me.

Researchers at the University of Florida have created a point-of-care biosensor that can rapidly detect a biomarker for oral cancer. The device uses test strips, such as those used in blood glucose tests, to spot cell proliferation regulating inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A), a protein biomarker that can reveal the presence of oral cancer.

Scientists at MIT have developed an optogenetics technique that can lead to long-term changes in neuronal excitability by altering neuronal membrane capacitance. Unlike conventional optogenetics, which involves using light to rapidly activate ion channels on engineered neurons, the new technique relies on a light-sensitive reaction to increase the presence of conductive or insulating polymers in the cell membrane.
