For her capstone experience, Biochemistry Senior, Courtney Aceto (right), is working at the Division of Malaria Research at University of Maryland Baltimore under the supervision of Dr. Amed Ouattara. The two research projects that she is working on are “Genotyping New vs Recrudescent Malaria Infections” and “Sequencing of Circumpsporozoite Protein to Distinguish New from Recrudescent Infections.” Courtney thoroughly enjoys the work that she is doing. “My capstone directly ties into my career goals of researching infectious disease as an epidemiologist. I can use this experience for both my academics and practice in the field.”
