===== Timea Adina Maxim ===== {{ :people:profile:maximt.jpg?199x200|Timea Maxim}} \\ Undergraduate Summer Research Student \\ Department of Life Sciences, University of Toronto, Mississauga - Biology Major, Psychology Major, and French Minor \\ \\ ===Contact Information=== Medical school === Main Academic Interests === * Molecular biology, transcriptional & translational mechanisms * Human development, organization, structure, and function of the mammalian body * Neuroanatomy, psychological disorders, cognitive and memory related functions * French morphology, syntax, culture * other Latin languages such as Italian and Spanish \\ \\ === Project Description === Timea will be using various specific molecular techniques to relocalize tumour - affected cells in order to determine what events take place during drug incubation (drug - photofrin). The uptake mechanisms, efficiency, distribution, and relocation of drugs will be observed and analyzed. With the help of a graduate student, she will determine whether the lifetime of the applied photosensitizer is a good quantitative method for photodynamic therapy, PDT, dosimetry. This technique represents the calculation of the absorbed dose in matter and tissue resulting from the exposure to indirectly and directly ionizing radiation.
