DEGENERATION OF NEURONAL MITOCHONDRIA IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE: Mitochondrial Turnover in Neuromuscular Junctions of Parkin Mutants

Kenny Nguyen is a junior majoring in neurobiology and physiology and minoring in psychology at Purdue University. He has been working in the Hollenbeck Lab since 2015, studying the degeneration of mitochondria in neurons and their implications in Parkinson’s disease. For the summer of 2015, he was selected as a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) intern, and he received the William ...

Social Network Clustering: An Analysis of Gang Networks

In Hollenbeck, a gang-dominated region of Los Angeles, gang activity has been monitored by the LAPD. One manner has been in the form of non-criminal stops. We propose a spectral clustering algorithm to predict gang affiliation from the information obtained from these stops. Despite the sparseness of data, the combination of geography and the record of individuals involved in a stop reveals the ...
