Kaitlyn Brock, a neuroscience and psychology major in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Lewis Honors College. Brock will be investigating the mechanisms and effects of bacterial endotoxin on skeletal muscle and synaptic transmission within fly and crayfish models in the lab of Robin Cooper, Ph.D., professor in the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Biology. Bacteria that produce endotoxin trigger an immune response in humans that can lead to sepsis and infection.
