NCUR Experience Looking for Design Around You 4/5/14

Research Topic: Formulation and Long-Term Stability of Enzyme Layers for Bio-sensors

This two guys from Eastern Kentucky University are researching about Enzymes. It was not a big presentation but they explained me everything they were trying to find out about Human enzymes. Now somebody might wonder how enzymes are related or correlated with design, well this two guys took enzymes and put them in to three different atmospheres, one of them is room temperature, fridge, outside and any place with an unusual temperature. The way i connected the design ideas to this research topic is how the room can affect the changes on enzymes. If the room is very small and it's considered to be the regular room, the size of the room will eventually effect the results on enzymes and this is what the guy were looking for is how the different temperature and the size of a room will have the effect on human enzymes. As you can see the poster in the picture above has a big sign that says "chemistry" and their topic has a lot to do with chemistry which i related to the design ideas and how it will affect the results. I think that the size of the rooms will affect the results because not all the rooms are designed the same and they will have a significant effect of the enzymes. Overall it was a great learning process and meeting these two guys from the picture, it was awesome because they were very knowledgeable and i feel like they have a bright future ahead of them in this field. They told me that a company from Canada introduced them to this research topic and they are working for them.
