Direction
Ok, I’ve finally been assigned a project! I’ll be investigating whether or not it is possible to predict whether certain cancer patients who clot are susceptible to subsequent clotting. We’ll begin by collecting the blood of two groups of patients, performimg RNA and microarray analysis to identify a metagene for predicting which patients will clot again and which ones won’t. Results will hopefully lead to developing a personalized medical strategy for better treatment. As I mentioned in a previous post, we are currently waiting on the approval of the protocol, but meanwhile I’m running RNA extractions and getting comfortable with the procedure. I’ll make updates as this study progresses.rnrnrn
