Wagner works on biochem, research at Lafayette Trustee Scholar Stacey Wagner of Shavertown, a junior at Lafayette College, is using bio- chemistry and physical chem- istry techniques to investigate protein isolation and stabilization in an intensive research project during the 2002 interim session between regular semesters. Selected from among Lafayet- te's top applicants, Trustee Scholars have distinguished themselves through exceptional academic achievement in high school. They receive from Lafayette an annual minimum scholarship of $7,500 (totaling $30,000 over four years) or a grant in the full amount of their demonstrated need if the need is more than $7,500. Wagner, ‘a biochemistry major, is a participant in Lafayette’s EX- CEL Scholars program. In EX- CEL, students assist faculty members with research while earning a stipend. She is doing research for a project called “Iso- lation of DNA Photolyase and In- vestigation of Its Tertiary Struc- ture Stability Spectroscopy.” “Last week I worked on isolat- ing the protein using biochem- istry techniques,” Wagner ex- plained. “I did that by growing bacteria in E coli and using an inducer that tells the bacteria to make the protein. Once I have the protein, I'm going to try to stabilize it.” Her goal is to find an environ- ment for the protein so it can be kept for longer periods of time. Wagner is working with Yvonne Gindt, assistant professor of chemistry. “Stacey is working on part of a larger project which is a collabo- ration with some people at the chemistry department at New York University,” said Gindt. Gindt has been working very closely with Wagner on both the purification procedure and the ) stability studies. “Stacey will be- come much more self-sufficient with time,” says Gindt. “She dis- plays both the work ethic and scientific curiosity that I always hope to find in the best chem- istry students.” Previously, Wagner has worked on EXCEL research and pub- lished papers with Joseph A. Sherma, Larkin Professor of Chemistry. “I've done a lot of re- search with Dr. Sherma and I enjoyed that research and want- ed to try something more in bio- chemistry,” Wagner said. “Hope- fully this will tell me which part of chemistry I like the best and which field I want to go into.” A graduate of Dallas High School, Wagner is a resident ad- visor, vice president of College Republicans, and a member of] Lafayette’s ski racing team. She is also a member of Lafayette’s Alternative School Break Club, which sponsors service projects over the winter and spring breaks, and will travel with a team to a location just outside Budapest, Hungary, to work with a Habitat for Humanity affiliate on home construction for low-in- } come families over spring break 2002. ‘Stacey is the daughter of Den- nis and Carol Wagner, Shaver- town.
