Eckerd College senior Maiah Brush, a biochemistry<\/a> student from Longmeadow, Massachusetts, has received a prestigious Student Intramural Research and Training Award<\/a> (IRTA) that will allow her to participate in a two-year fellowship program at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, the NIH announced recently.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Like many research training programs at the NIH, the IRTA program is highly competitive. Over the past calendar year, about 24% of applicants were selected for the program. Maiah is the second Eckerd student to receive the award; Carina Graham \u201917, a biology<\/a> graduate from Potomac, Maryland, was the first.<\/p>\n

The goal, according to the IRTA website, is to match student research interests with a basic neuroscience laboratory or clinical branch where those interests might be pursued. Participants work a minimum number of weeks with established investigators, receive training in research procedures and conduct research in selected areas of investigation under the guidance of an assigned preceptor. Students typically go on to graduate or medical school.<\/p>\n

Maiah will be working with Rebecca Brown, M.D., of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases,<\/a> a part of the NIH. \u201cOur goal is to understand the basic mechanisms regulating energy metabolism in humans,\u201d Brown states on her webpage. \u201cWe use rare diseases as models to understand perturbations in pathways regulating energy metabolism and apply what we learn from rare diseases to common conditions such as obesity and the metabolic syndrome.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”7995″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Maiah Brush works in the Young-Erdos Laboratory<\/a> in the James Center for Molecular and Life Sciences.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Maiah is an Eckerd College Ford Scholar<\/a>, a shift leader on the Eckerd College Search and Rescue (EC-SAR) Team<\/a>, and last year she found time to choreograph the Eckerd theatre<\/a> production Heathers\u2014The Musical<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThat was a really great experience,\u201d she says. \u201cI had done that in high school, and it really brought out the creative side again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maiah also completed a summer internship last year at the Center for Human Genetic Research in Harvard Medical School\u2019s Massachusetts General Hospital Research Institute<\/a>. The internship was established by Eckerd Board of Trustees<\/a> member Susan Slaugenhaupt \u201985 (P \u201920), Ph.D., the scientific director and a professor of neurology at the hospital\u2019s scientific institute.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” top_margin=”48″ bottom_margin=”48″ right_margin=”16″ column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]But for Maiah, it all started her first year at Eckerd. \u201cI remember my first experience with Maiah,\u201d says Crystal Young-Erdos, Ph.D.<\/a>, assistant professor of chemistry and Maiah\u2019s mentor. \u201cShe sat in the front row of my General Chemistry II class and was regularly engaged, despite it being 8:20 a.m.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cShe was also always early, so we often chatted before class. It was through those conversations that I learned she was a marine science<\/a> major but was quite interested in biomedical research. Before the end of the semester, I recruited her to be a biochemistry major. Maiah is an excellent student, the kind we all love to work alongside.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her thesis, Maiah, who has done the bulk of her research with Young-Erdos, is investigating an RNA helicase that is involved in the maturation of ribosomes, the machinery that makes protein in all cells. She is changing individual amino acids, or protein building blocks, and observing how these modifications affect cell growth. Collectively, she aims to better understand the molecular mechanism of this RNA helicase. \u201cSince protein synthesis limits cancer cell growth, understanding the roles of different players in the ribosome assembly process could allow us to better design therapeutics,\u201d Young-Erdos says. \u201cIn a broader sense, Maiah\u2019s work in my lab at Eckerd has also given her a foundation of skill sets that will help her be successful in her next experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relationships Maiah has built at Eckerd are just as meaningful. \u201cI was so struck by how enthusiastic and passionate Dr. Young-Erdos was about chemistry,\u201d Maiah says. \u201cAnd general chemistry concepts apply to so many other areas. And I owe a lot to Dr. Kat [Robinson, assistant dean of faculty]. I told her I wanted to do clinical research before applying to medical school, and she pointed me to the IRTA program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I would have this opportunity if I didn\u2019t go to Eckerd,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe faculty relationships and constant support, the willingness to write recommendations, and just the research experience I\u2019ve gained here.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
