| There's so much that I'd like to do, and so little time. My life seems like a juggling act between piano lessons, dance, table tennis, gymnastics, and the biggest one: school. I'm quite fortunate to have participated in the Canada Winter Games '07 in Whitehorse Yukon, representing Team 'Toba in Table Tennis, where I made new friends and learned about sports that were new to me, like squash. Violin was the first instrument I played, and starting at age 6, I began to build an admiration and love for music. I've played flute, baritone saxophone, and french horn in band, but the one I love most is playing the piano. Music is like a whole different world, a universal language which sometimes moves me to laughter or tears. I also danced in Folklorama last summer. Singing is one of my hobbies, and I like to belt out my favourite tunes in the shower. I'm glad I participated in the SABC competition this year, for that's what led me to do a project with my mentor, Dr. Leygue, and register for the MSSS. This whole experience has been quite unbelievable, and opened my eyes to the world of science. |

SRAP Expression and Its Role In Breast Cancer
| Division: | International | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Manitoba Schools Science Symposium | | City: | Winnipeg, MB | | School: | Kelvin High School | | Abstract: | SRAP is a co-activator and co-regulator of Estrogen Receptor (ER) and associated with breast cancer. Two methods of protein detection: immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry on breast cancer cells and tumour tissue were used. The application of immunohistochemistry to tissue micro-array (TMA) breast tumour samples conclude that low SRAP expression in breast cancer patients has better prognosis. |
