West Valley students recently participated in the UB Metagenetics Research Symposium, joining representatives from 20 other schools at Jacobs Medical Center to present their research findings to peers, educators, and medical researchers.
As part of the project, students analyzed environmental DNA samples and made a noteworthy discovery—a clinically significant strain of Chromobacterium vaccinii carrying an antibiotic resistance gene. This strain was identified from a water sample collected at Scoby Dam.
Our students and Mr. Guagliardo represented West Valley well throughout the entire research project!
