This summer, 24 CSPC/PS-ON fellows and I learned how to use R-studio to analyze a gene data set to understand breast cancer metastasis. At the end of our 10-week internship, we participated in a hackathon-style project. My partner and I had three hours to come up with a solution to enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer.
The following infographic covers the basics of our proposal. This project was an opportunity to creatively think of an approach to treat drug resistance, consider the limitations of different methods, and develop scientific communication skills, not to come up with solid answers.
