OverviewWelcome to my River Hill High School G/T Math, Science & Technology (MST) Research web site! This site serves to present the original laboratory research that I carried out at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) in Silver Spring, Maryland this past summer. My entire technical paper and links to other relevant sites are included here. You will find information on the anthrax vaccine and its connection with squalene, the vaccine's relevance to the Persian Gulf War Syndrome, and the state-of-the-art techniques I used to measure the cross-reactivity of monoclonal anti-squalene antibodies with lipid antigens. I hope you enjoy the design of this web site and seek to learn more about the exciting fields of biochemistry and immunology! - Ashish D. Patel ('01) Spring 2001
AcknowledgmentsI would like to extend my gratitude to those who have helped me. I gratefully acknowledge Dr. Gary R. Matyas for providing the opportunity for a summer internship at WRAIR and for volunteering his time towards providing encouragement when needed, feedback on experimental results, and guidance in response to any and all questions put-forth. I must also acknowledge the Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program at George Washington University for facilitating this internship. Special acknowledgement is extended to Albert Luo and Bianca Redhead, my laboratory peers, who will be pursuing careers in medicine at Harvard and Stanford universities this year. Most importantly, I wish to acknowledge my G/T MST Research teacher, Ms. Barbara Jewett, for guiding me in my research studies and writing the recommendation letters that helped me attain my research positions, win science competitions, and secure college admission. Thank you.
