Description
Over the past summer and fall I interned in Dr. David B. Solit’s lab at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, compiling data for my supervising doctoral student, Moriah Nissan. My role in the research focused on in vitro modification of the parallel signal transduction pathways of MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT within NF1 null, BRAF/NRAS wildtype melanoma cell lines. Through combination treatments of targeted drug therapies I induced cell death and analyzed the response at intervals over a period of 24 hours by means of growth curves, western blots, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting.
