RESEARCH ABSRACT INFORMATION
Anxiety is a prevalent mental health disorder characterized by excessive worry, fearfulness, and apprehension, which significantly impacts an individual’s daily life. It affects approximately 18.1% of the population in the United States alone (Kessler et al., 2005). Understanding the symptoms, pathology, and possible treatments of anxiety is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies to address the unmet clinical needs of patients. One potential candidate that may play a role in anxiety-like behaviors is Metallothionein-3 (MT-3), a protein primarily found within the central nervous system. This research proposal aims to investigate the possible induction of anxiety-like behaviors in the presence of Metallothionein-3 (MT-3) using an7 experimental approach. The proposed study will build upon previous research studies examining the abnormalities in psychological behaviors associated with MT-3 deficiency.

WORDS FROM TEACHING ASSISTANT
The student actively engaged in discussions, asked questions, and showed a strong interest in the research topics. She actively sought feedback, implemented suggestions, and demonstrated noticeable improvement in her research skills and understanding of the subject matter. She also exhibited strong collaboration and teamwork skills during the program. She contributed to group discussions, respected others’ ideas, and effectively communicated her own thoughts. Though she took efforts into the project, she still has a lot of potential to do much better. I look forward to her better performance in future studies.
