Jessica Hughes is seeing the human finger in a new light through her undergraduate research project. A recipient of Penn State`s 2010 Undergraduate Discovery Summer Grant, Hughes has spent the summer studying the inner workings of one muscle in the index finger. Working alongside trained scientists, Hughes is getting experience with many new research techniques such as 3D computer modeling, ultrasound imaging, dissection and muscle cell isolation.
