I really enjoyed working on this project. We started by reading papers related to lncRNA and cancer. Then after having a discussion with Evan and Pam we found the direction to study the mechanism of lncRNA in chemotherapy resistance. It was fun finding a gap in information/ research results in the academic world (?). Progressively, we narrowed down to cisplatin as our drug and neuroblastoma as our cancer type. Although not included in the final project, I learned so much about techniques related to studying the function of lncRNA and how they are involved in other processes. I think focusing on lncRNA as my project also helped me understand lectures related to lncRNA better.
Pathway to our final final project
