SILVER SPRING, Md. (July 16, 2024) Jenny Chen, a Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) intern with Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC), mixes tick-borne rickettsia DNA with CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex for targeted enrichment of microbial sequences and enhanced tick-borne pathogen surveillance. Chen, in her second year of interning with NMRC through SEAP, is continuing research she assisted in during 2023. Chen, a recent graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Virginia, will be starting her first semester at Cornell University later this year. NMRC is engaged in a broad spectrum of medical research, from basic science in the laboratory to field studies in austere and remote areas of the world to investigations in operational environments. In support of the Navy, Marine Corps, and joint U.S. warfighters, researchers study infectious diseases, biological warfare detection and defense, combat casualty care, environmental health concerns, aerospace and undersea medicine, medical modeling, simulation, operational mission support, epidemiology and behavioral sciences (U.S. Navy photo by Michael Wilson/Released)
