Amy Schmid, PhD, Molecular and Cellular Biology Program
Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate student, Amy Schmid, describes her work using a biological strategy to clean up radioactive waste. The Hanford site in eastern Washington and similar nuclear sites across the country are loaded with mixed radioactive waste. How to dispose of these waste products? Amy worked with an organism that can survive intense radioation and reconstitute the waste into a more easily disposable product. The MCB Program offers access to an impressive range of research perspectives. This range allowed Amy to find a focus for her interests and identify the environmental/biomedical areas for her research.
