The project cancer revolved around on gaining understanding into the cel-biological, physiological and physics that contribute to the area of cancer development, diagnostics and treatment. The project commenced with in-depth lectures from a specialised oncologist, who explained the molecular biology underlying cancer.

Subsequently, my project ground and I performed a molecular analysis of yeast cell samples, aiming to explore the impact of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments on the cell growth. Additionally, the DNA of the yeast cell samples were analysed. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify the cell DNA, followed by gel electrophoresis to dissect the genotypic variations within the samples.

Throughout this project, I gathered invaluable insights into the physiological intricacies associated with cancer development. Moreover, I acquired proficiency in various molecular biological techniques essential for DNA analysis. This experience has not only improved my understanding of cancer but also equipped me with practical skills useful for molecular biology and scientific research.
