I have learned many different lab skills, worked with lots of people and had the opportunity to work on a really cool project. It was also an opportunity to apply some of the techniques that I have learned the theory about in my classes and this made the concepts easier to understand. Therefore, I-CUREUS has given me lab skills and helped me in my classes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/discoverycentre\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20180413_130408.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/discoverycentre\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20180413_130408-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4474\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sara Siddiqi presenting at the I-CUREUS April 2018 Conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sara Siddiqi is an I-CUREUS participant in the Health Science program, assisting Professor Salmaso&#8217;s &#8220;Examining the Effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 on Perineuronal Nets&#8221; project.
