During the Institute, we had a video conference call with a post doctorate researcher, Dr. O'Brien at Vanderbilt University, who researches protein receptors for obsessive spectrum disorders.

​

Dr. O'Brien mentioned many different ways that he uses chemistry, data collection, and data analysis in his research. ​It was interesting to see how chemistry affects the brain and ways that scientists are using to combat disructions in normal brain function.

​

I would like to use his data sets as a real-world example of collecting data. Also, I will use his study of binding compounds as an example of chemistry and of anatomy/physiology of the brain.
