Welcome to Biosciences at Global Research
Hello! Thanks for coming to the blog! In addition to what you may have read in my bio, I’d like to tell you about why I chose my career as a biologist here at GE Global Research. I was a Neuroscience major in college and was unsure of what do to with my degree when I graduated in 2005. Research seemed like a good choice since I had spent the past year collecting and analyzing data for my senior thesis (in which I studied neuroplasticity in the brain). An opportunity came for me to join the Biosciences Lab at GE working on neurodegenerative disease project aimed at detecting iron in the brain as an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease. This was right up my alley and a perfect fit!
I quickly realized what an amazing company GE was to work for. Cutting edge research and technology at my fingertips! GE Global Research has given me the chance to expand my knowledge and work on a variety of projects including developing optical imaging agents that highlight the margins of cancerous tumors and (my current project) using novel nanoparticles and MR imaging to determine vascularity in tumors.
I’ve always wanted to be a blogger and look forward to sharing the inside scoop from my lab with you. I aim to keep you updated on projects we are working on and will also introduce you to some of the great scientists I work with on a daily basis. I’ll give you insight into what it’s like for me personally to work here as a biologist. For a small taste of what we do at GE Global Research as whole, check out this video debuting Reggie and Andrew from the Biosciences lab, and me!
Nice job, Nat! I can’t believe I finally know someone famous.
