senior Chris Thornton
is a biology major with an emphasis in microbiology. He will be assisting Professor Josh Sharp with testing a bacterial identification system known as MIT 1000. They will be studying MRSA, a dangerous strain of Staphylococcus aureus. They plan to add bacterial signatures to the comparison database, report problems back to MIT and continue their analysis of MRSA.

Dr. David Haavig, MIT Chief Scientist, said, "We are excited that Dr. Sharp and his students can now utilize the MIT 1000 in their research, using the System in a wide variety of bacterial testing situations. They will also employ the System to investigate new clinical applications for the MIT 1000 such as the MRSA issue. The potential benefits of this joint research project may spread far beyond our initial goals and we are grateful to Dr. Sharp and NMU for their participation."
