Writing Homework Help

I’m working in a lab during the summer. Specifically, the postdoc I work with investigates in the genetic mechanism of JAGGED1 mutations in Alagille Syndrome; the role of Jagged1 in the development and function of the liver, heart, and vasculature. Basically, I’m responsible for zebrafish maintenance in the lab, as zebrafish is used as a model in our lab. Additionally, I will also be responsible for genotyping the zebrafish, which I will be able to practice my skill of agarose gel electrophoresis, PCR，antibody staining, and so on. I will need help to come up with a research topic and a 10 page research paper relating to my internship.

I’m thinking to write about (In what ways are zebrafish as a model organism influencing current commercial and medical fields?) But the research paper should focus on biochemistry and my internship work.
