2014 Undergraduate Summer Research Program Participant
Home Department: Human Biology
Supported by: Dean of Research
Mentor: Stephen Skirboll, Neurosurgery
Nicholas is working in Dr. Skirboll's lab, which is searching for antibodies that will bind to distinct surface proteins specific to cancer stem cells. Identifying these specific antibodies would allow for the detection of stem cells (which are crucial for the survival and growth of the tumor) apart from regular tumor cells.
