Rachael's DREU Experience (Summer 2009)

This site is made to document my experiences as part of the DREU Program. I have been assigned to work under Dr. Shehu in her research lab at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. I will be using this site as a journal about what I am doing in my research as well as in my free time during Summer 2009.

This is a 10 week program where I will be learning and gaining experience in the field of Bioinformatics. This field focuses on applying Information Technology to Molecular Biology. I will be using the skills and knowledge that I already have and combine them with new skills and the new things that I will learn so that I can begin research about a given topic in the Bioinformatics field.
