Individual Work
Literature Review -
Continuous Metabolic Monitoring Device
During Industry Case Studies, I completed a literature review on my capstone idea, a continuous metabolic monitoring device for diabetic ketoacidosis patients. The literature review aimed to define ketoacidosis, recognize current monitoring and management strategies, determine the current challenges faced, identify a possible solution, and discuss what the future looks like for diabetic ketoacidosis patients in regards to current gaps in research and unmet needs.
Literature Review -
Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines
During Industry Case Studies, I completed a literature review on an innovative new cancer immunotherapy termed therapeutic cancer vaccines. The scope of my project included analyzing the mechanism of action, current FDA approved vaccines, the current challenges faced, and gaps in research.
Literature Review -
Companion Animal Diagnostics
During Industry Case Studies, I completed a literature review on a novel companion animal diagnostic method for the diagnosis of inflammatory conditions and food sensitivities. The goal of this paper was to describe the unmet need, discuss the market landscape, describe the present invention including its applications and advantages, along with identifying and detailing the specific biomarkers utilized.
