Title: A Simplified Method to Create Transgenic Zebrafish and Drosophila using Electroporation
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Karen Guzman , Biology

Zebrafish and Drosophila are good models for studying disease and development. Transgenic organisms can be created by DNA microinjection, but this method is technically challenging. Electroporation is simpler, but often requires expensive equipment. My goal is to develop a more cost-effective, user-friendly electroporation device to transfer genes into these models.
