oncoCURES Project Log
Thursday, March 12
- reviewed the ideas and the mentor feedback
signaling and genetics
Glivec
important example to study in great depth
mimic it
small molecule inhibitors
not proteins
need to pick specific pathway to target
what would it do
viruses and bacteria
tried for a long time
genetic therapy
no viral therapy approved by FDA
study existing possibilities
some dangers
markers and targeting
interesting findings
may not be able to achieve ambition
Wednesday, March 11
- gave 3 Ideas Presentation
- got reviews and questions
student feedback
