  1. Summer Research Projects for MBBS Students Adam Kara, BSc (Hons) Phase 3 King’s College London School of Medicine at Guy’s, King’s & St. Thomas’ Hospitals

  2. Department of Craniofacial Development & Stem Cell Biology Miletich (Sharpe) Group • Large and highly active lab • Investigation of a range of topics, all concerned with craniofacial development (sensory organs, palate, dental, salivary glands, bone, muscle, bioengineering etc.) • iBSc programmes, and new MSc programme • Weekly lab meetings and seminars • (Spectacular views of St. Paul’s from my bench!)

  3. Why did I apply for a studentship? • Continuation of iBSc project • Funded (8 week) project • Study of a specific topic/question in depth—become an expert • Opportunity to contribute and learn something truly new • Develop portfolio and area of interest

  4. What did I do? • RNA in situ hybridization • Immunohistochemistry • Tissue slice culture (teeth can be grown in slices!) • Dissection (adult/embryo mice) • Microscopy • Gel electrophoresis • Plasmid isolation (from E. coli) Tooth bud

  5. Summer research: get started • Use the KCL webpages to find a supervisor • Identify an area of interest: do an SSC, read around the subject • Continuation of intercalated BSc work/SSC? • Things to consider: time and project planning, play to your strengths, computer skills, maths, be sure to have some fun

  6. Acknowledgements • Dr. Isabelle Miletich, Prof. Paul Sharpe • Dept. of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology • Alison Liu and CARS committee
