Description

In this project, the effect of blocking integrin subunits on contact guidance of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts were assessed. Imaging was gathered through Timelapse imaging of live cells as well as immunohistochemistry of fixed cells at designated timepoints.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Douglas Hamilton for providing me the opportunity to work with his lab as part of the USRI program and for his great mentorship.

I would like to thank the staff that runs the USRI program as well as the faculty of anatomy and cell biology.

Finally I would like to thank all members of the Hamilton Lab for guiding me along this experience and providing a great work experience.
