Mission Statement: Fundamental Electrochemical Research seeking new material, understanding reaction mechanism in the areas of renewable energy, sensor and water treatments.
Applied Development Bridging academic research with industrial product innovation to develop new generation of products or improve current products.
Current Research: Focuses on making stronger and more efficient batteries using metal air, fuel cells, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage materials, and alkaline batteries.

2. S.N.Ps S.N.P stands for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
For convenience, SNPs are called snips
SNP refers to a change in a single nucleotide in a gene sequence from the original or initial
Example: If the original sequence was A-T-C-G and your sequence is A-T-T-G then your gene sequence contains a SNP. The SNP is the second T , where C should be.

3. TAS2R38 Stands for Taste Receptor, type 2, member 38
TAS2R38 codes for tasting bitter PTC
TAS2R38 has 3 SNPs but in our experiment we focused on the SNP GGCC to identify genotype
TAS2R38 is normally GGGC
People with a SNP can taste PTC, people w/o can not

4. HaeIII
HaeIII is a restriction enzyme that cuts at restriction site GGCC
This is important because that site is the same as the TAS2R38 SNP
Whether the gene was cut or digested by HaeIII, would determine the whether a gene had an SNP or not
Tested with gel electrophoresis
The presence of SNP would determine genotype and so phenotype
