Ryan Shami
UROP researcher 2016-2017
Recent Publication:
"Omega-6 DPA and its 12-lipoxygenase–oxidized lipids regulate platelet reactivity in a nongenomic PPARa-dependent manner"
"This publication was made possible because of the introduction to research given to me by UROP, which also helped develop my critical thinking and reasoning skills necessary to do publishable research.
As the lead of my own research project, I expanded my knowledge on the background of coagulation. I learned how to ask questions to improve healthcare regarding cardiovascular diseases and how to transform my questions into hypotheses and experiments. After inquiring about the effects of fatty acids on coagulation, I took the initiative to research how various types of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids attenuate blood clots. I administered these fatty acids to mice, via oral gavage, for a month, before surgically assessing their blood reactivity for coagulation.
Using intravital microscopy, I was able to assess platelet function on the mice that I administered with different omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. After formulating a hypothesis and working on my own research project, I encountered many challenges and learned how beneficial and crucial it is to have patience. Initially, my research was unpromising, and I came to believe that I was just wasting my time. However, after talking to my PI, I came to understand that patience was a virtue of scientific research and I should adjust my hypothesis to be broader. I began to see promising results and producing manuscripts became a promising reality. My research on omega-6 fatty acids and their effect on arterial thrombosis later came to be published."
