Proposed Research Project

Enter Project Title here

Maybe something with amyloid beta mediated oxidation of lipid membranes... Maybe antioxidant properties of some things... Most likely just playing around with Langmuir monolayer technique part 2.

Proposal

No real research currently being conducted. Just playing around with DPPE and DOPC lipids and reading articles.

Instruments to be used

Kibron Trough

Research pledge

I, Brandon Allen, have read the Chem/Bioc 430 course syllabus and understand the general structure and expectations of the research program. The above material was prepared after consultation, and in conjunction with my research advisor.
