When I was in 3rd grade, my best friend's mom lost her battle to metastatic melanoma. Today, I am conducting my Honors Thesis on predictive methods for targeted drug therapy to help better treat patients diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. In this photograph, I am holding in my hand a suspension of same type of cancer cells that were responsible for the death of the woman in the background almost 13 years ago. When the experiment results are frustrating, or the hours in the lab get long, I persevere for her. For Jenny -- may we never stop testing, fighting, and searching for better treatments for cancer.
