Meghan Carpenter is UMBC's Student Regent Nominee by David Hoffman
Meghan Carpenter has been selected as UMBC's nominee for Student Regent for 2013-2014. Meghan is a junior majoring in American Studies and Political Science. She is the Director of Community and Governmental Affairs for UMBC's Student Government Association, and represents UMBC students on the University System of Maryland Student Council, the Maryland Higher Education Commission's Student Advisory Council, and UMBC's Neighbor Relations Committee.  Meghan also works as a research assistant for Professor Carolyn Forestiere, and as an office assistant for UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski.  Meghan also blogs for USDemocrazy.net, and has authored two posts for the UMBC BreakingGround web site.

The Student Regent is the sole student member of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents, which governs a state public higher education system that includes the UMBC, the University of Maryland College Park, Towson University and 9 other institutions, along with two regional higher education centers. As UMBC's nominee for the position for 2013-2014, Meghan will be interviewed next weekend by the University System of Maryland Student Council, which will forward the names of three finalists for consideration by Governor O'Malley.

The past 10 UMBC nominees all have been selected as finalists, and three have been appointed Student Regent: Phil Shockley (2003-2004), Josh Michael (2008-2009) and current UMBC senior Collin Wojciechowski (2011-2012).

Good luck, Meghan!

How did you find your mentor for your research?
As a freshman entering UMBC, I hoped to pursue cancer research and learn related laboratory techniques. I read about professors’ research in the Biological Sciences Department and then emailed professors about research I was interested in. The Meyerhoff Scholarship Program helped me to get involved in research as early as the first summer after my freshman year and I have been working in Dr. Rosenberg’s Laboratory ever since.

How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
Since I have a strong interest in focusing my future research endeavors on cancer biology and related fields, this project fit into my goals perfectly.

Is this your first independent research?
Though I had some research experience with NASA in high school, this was my first independent research project. It proved to be very fulfilling as I was able to learn many of the basic and advanced laboratory techniques necessary for a competent scientist.

Do you get course credit for this work?
Yes, I receive two or three pass/fail credits per semester.

How much time do you put into it?
Working on my research excited me and I put in about 15-20 hours per week during the academic year. During the summer and winter breaks I spent about 40 hours per week in the lab.

What has been the hardest part about your research?
Before working in Dr. Rosenberg's laboratory I believed that research was "black and white." I learned that research requires accepting many failed experiments. Working in the Rosenberg laboratory has allowed me to learn that although failure is a part of research, it will be overcome with experience. I have also learned how to work with graduate students and post doctoral researchers in a competitive and fast-paced environment.

What are your career goals?
I hope to pursue a M.D./Ph.D. due to my strong desire to perform research and identify solutions that benefit people.

Patrick J. Canavan, profiled over the weekend in this piece from a Hanover, PA newspaper, was a founder of UMBC's art department, and a popular teacher here (see this photo from 1968-1969). As the article makes clear, he also was a strong-willed individual who chose to live on his own terms, carefully avoiding the limelight in order to focus on his art and his family.

I think every life is a work of art, provoking every witness to consider their own choices about how to live. You can develop your life-as-art to reflect your deepest values despite the risks and costs, or you can surrender your canvas to be painted by others in your name.

What lessons do you take from Patrick Canavan's story, and what kind of art will you make?

Are you thinking about graduate school in this field?

This great summer opportunity is for you! Be a part of this exciting state-of-the-art research experience.

What is modeling and simulation of biological networks?

Molecular biology has undergone a dramatic revolution during the second half of the twentieth century, beginning with the discovery of the structure of DNA. Since then a series of technological advances has given experimentalists the ability to make ever-more detailed measurements of an increasing number of molecular components of the cell. DNA microarrays, for instance, are small silicon chips spotted with short segments of DNA that can be used to measure the activity levels of thousands of different genes in tissue samples simultaneously.

2008 Lecture Soon it might be possible to make large-scale quantitative measurements in a single cell. Being able to take such global snapshots of molecular processes has opened up the possibility of studying the changes that are constantly going on in cells as a coherent dynamical system with intricately interacting parts, rather than studying the parts in isolation. Similar developments in other fields of biology have revolutionized the availability of system wide data. Thus, the new field of systems biology has emerged. It makes heavy use of mathematical tools for modeling and simulation. ]]> Are you a student majoring in a mathematical or computational science, interested in biomathematics?
