I would like to further study MRSA and finding a vaccine for it. It is becoming more prevalent in our society. There is no cure and most vaccines don’t work on the bacteria.
Another interesting topic is this virus that “bumps” off other viruses that goes near a host cell. The virus is not viral to humans but it invades the cell. It alters its proteins and maybe the cell membrane. So when another virus tries to latch on, it extends a protein string and bumps it off. Other viruses have ta similar invasion method. It would be interesting to study how the virus affects the cell. This could protentially help in finding ways to prevent those viral infections. Such as herpes.
Another interesting research topic is studying retina substitute. I found an article about it but the articfical retina would provide minimal vision. This would be good to studying for those who can’t see well. They still have functional eye receptors to help factilate function.
