Undergraduate Student Research Spotlight: Stephanie Gilroy `26 (ANSC) 🧬✨
Stephanie Gilroy, a Junior in Animal Science and a member of the Honors Program, began her research in Dr. Maria Gracia Gervasi’s lab in the fall of 2024. Dr. Gervasi’s research focuses on the impact of various sperm incubation conditions on early embryo development in both mice and cattle.
Over the course of the semester, Stephanie has learned a variety of essential laboratory techniques under Dr. Gervasi’s guidance, including pipetting, adjusting the pH of buffers and solutions, and measuring osmolarity. She has also had the opportunity to conduct hands-on experiments, such as staining sperm samples to identify the location of specific proteins on the sperm. Additionally, she learned to capture DIC and fluorescent images of stained sperm using a fluorescent microscope.
Other valuable experiences have included thawing cryopreserved sperm and counting sperm samples, extracting proteins from sperm, and performing Western blotting to analyze sperm protein levels.
Stephanie is incredibly grateful for this hands-on experience and for having Dr. Gervasi as a mentor. She has already gained so much knowledge in just one semester, and she is eager to continue her research in the coming semesters to deepen her understanding and contribute to the lab`s work.
