Cameron Orr

A freshman in high school that focuses on multidisciplinary biology subjects. Took 3 UCSD online extension courses in biology and microbiology, does research on articles, especially concerning algal biotech and tissue culture. I am very interested in the potential of organisms like algae for utilization in tissue culture. Furthermore, I also took in person tissue culture and biotechnology labs with Mira Costa.

Unfortunately, as a freshman, many opportunities such as internships are difficult to come by because of age restrictions. However, I do have experience in a lab setting working with chicken stem cell isolation from adipose tissue. As previously mentioned, I do have access to mentorship via some teachers and even a few from the workforce.
