Erron A. Deloney
Erron A Deloney is junior at Monmouth
College, where he is biology major and double minor in chemistry and sociology. At Monmouth College he has taken Calculus, Criminology, Botany, Zoology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Organic Chemistry I & II, and currently he is enrolled in Biochemistry and Physics.
In Biochemistry he has taken on a variety of experiments, such as Gel Electrophoresis of DNA samples, as well as purifying, characterizing and doing computational analysis related to the green fluorescent protein. In the laboratory Erron and his colleagues have done a series of experiments; such as growing E-Coli, adding the p-Glo to it, extracting the p-Glo and transferring it into another bacteria sample. Right now the team is in the middle of an experiment dealing with Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography.
