[music plays throughout.] Sheryl Fuller-Espie, Ph.D., DIC: "What you're seeing today is what students at Cabrini College
would do in a typical research-laboratory facility.
My lab is involved in looking at invertebrate immunity in earthworms.
We study their white blood cells and how they respond to
various pathogens that they might encounter in their natural habitats."
Shannon Cook: "We're using a flow cytometer to measure the nitric-oxide production.
Morgan Sperratore: "Shannon and I had extruded earthworms for their white blood cells,
cleaned them up a little bit, count how many cells there are,
and then we would put them into the flow cytometer to see
if we have signigicant statistical evidence of nitric oxide."
Sheryl Fuller-Espie, Ph.D., DIC: "In 2005, we moved into the Iadarola Center
for Science, Education, and Technology.
We have many different research labs.
The instrumentation that we have at Cabrini College is very cutting-edge.
It's very sophisticated, and it's similar
to the type of instrumentation that students will be
working on when they leave Cabrini.
Other faculty in Biology at other facilities,
they often are absolutely blown away
in terms of our facilities, our instrumentation.
It's really a pretty special place."
