The goal of my project was to better understand the effects of drug profiles on the signaling networks of human cancer. The hope is that my research will prove useful to the drug discovery process. By replicating the temporal concentration profile of a drug in vitro, we may be able to better understand a drug's effect well before human trials. In addition to research experience, I have gained leadership experience through mentoring multiple graduate and undergraduate students. I have also been… Show more The goal of my project was to better understand the effects of drug profiles on the signaling networks of human cancer.
