This research project analyzes the CRISPR-Cas9 technique in finding effective cures for single mutated genes such as NF2. After collecting RNA samples one project goal is to build a tool that can be used to easily fix mutated genes using CRISPR technology in order to identify an effective way to cure those with diseases related to gene mutations.

This research project is an analysis of tech manufacturer companies in the Silicon Valley and how they impact the California economy which is about $2.5 trillion USD. This project will focus on how much revenue these companies make and how many people they employ because both of these are two major components of our economy.

Using a new laser technology called microPREP, this research project investigate optimizing the process by which laboratory samples are prepared. The project will use many silicone samples to alter parameters in the system and see how this affects the sample. Using Imaging technology at available at the project mentor's company will be used to examine in detail the quality of each of these samples, which determine the parameters that had the best effect.

This research project, conducted in the form of a case study, utilizes questionnaires answered by a patient that are based off other Parkinson's disease rating scales, such as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The questions used in the study will be related to the patient's behavior/mood, daily life, and motor abilities. This data will be analyzed to determine trends in the changes that occur as a result of the drugs taken by the patient.

This research project will focus gathering and analyzing data about the Wernicke's area in the superior temporal gyrus. This data will then be used to explore the differences in twins, specifically the difference when one twin has Autism Spectrum Disorder.

This project will investigate the effects of an interactive public art installment on the Paly community. One goal of the project is to find statistically significant evidence of interaction with this art to affect morale in its community. These effects will be gauged by disseminating surveys within Paly and interviewing people who interacted with the project. The surveys and interviews will include questions about influence of the art project on their thoughts and feelings.

This research project utilize previous applications promoted locally and globally. The goal is to reuse greywater, which allows an increase productivity of sustainable backyard ecosystems, while saving water. Greywater is wastewater generated from a household's shower, bathtub, bathroom sink, and washing machine. Freshwater is becoming scarce due to the CA drought and is becoming more expensive. By looking at different application of greywater and previous examples promoted, this project will determine how to effectivdely reuse sewer water and salt water to water plants.

AD is the 6th leading cause of death; over 5.3 million americans currently have this disease. This research project will use a literature review to determine the most prominent predisposing factors.
