Hi, I'm Nicole.My name is Nicole Libert. I am currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. May of 2015 I plan to receive my diploma, graduating with a B.S. in genetics. After graduation I plan to take some time off before returning to pursue further education. Within this time I hope to explore the variety of options the field of genetics has to offer.
Other than my passion for genetics, I enjoy getting outside whenever possible. Volleyball, boating, hunting, swimming, wake boarding, and four wheeling are amongst many of my favorite activities. In addition to physical interests, I have a unique talent for making a variety of homemade holiday cards; only further supporting my unhealthy addiction to Pintrest. I researched Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome and created a website around it as part of a semester-long project for Genetics 564, an undergraduate genomics and proteomics course here at UW-Madison. I selected this disease to study because of its overwhelming similarities with A-T, or ataxia telangiectasia. A-T has hit close to home, affecting a few of my family members; one of which, my cousin Jessica, who had developed and lost her fight with this rare condition. Please, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns regarding Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome or the NBN gene. |
