| Diana - I am from Korea and I attend Old Scona Academic High School. My two loves are biology and French. I first was introduced to the world of research through the Heritage Youth Researcher Summer program, and have also participated in the Gene Researcher for a Week program. I plan on continuing my research endeavours throughout my academic career, and would like to pursue an MD/PhD. | | Neesha - Hi, my name is Neesha! I am currently in grade 11, attending Lillian Osborne High School where i am enrolled in the IB program. I am a person who enjoys playing the piano and I have a passion for swimming. I am a member of my school's swim team and have been in competitive swimming for the past 4 years. Last summer, I did research within the Persad laboratory, preforming very fascinating experiments, and this is where i got my inspiration to do this project. I really hope to continue doing summer research, as it is an excellent way to spend your summer, looking at research topics that interest you! It is truly engaging experience that I hope to continue! |

Pounding Cancer with PTEN
| Défi: | Santé | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Edmonton | | Ville: | Edmonton, AB, Edmonton , AB | | École: | Old Scona School, Lillian Osborne High School | | Sommaire: | Increased levels of the oncoprotein, beta-catenin, promotes tumor cell metastasis. In melanoma, PTEN, a tumour suppressor and negative regulator of the PI3K pathway, is inactive or lost. We have determined that the re-introduction of PTEN to metastatic melanoma cells decreased active beta-catenin levels, and reduced the migratory and invasive potential of these cells. This investigation elucidated the putative mechanisms underlying metastatic melanoma. |
