Jason McEwen's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. - I discovered a genetic region involved in the transcriptional regulation of a seed storage protein found in B. napus (Canola)
    - I discovered a novel mutation in a gene thought to be involved in the disregulation of downstream genes known to be involved in reverse cholesterol transport
    - I generated multiple novel DNA expression vectors for the determination of synaptic connectivity of bipolar neurons in murine neural retina
    - I developed novel methods by which to extract circulating RNA from human blood plasma
