Project:

Personalized targeted lung cancer therapy identified from fine needle aspirate samples.

Students:

Sydney Bergen, Ariana Reichler

Institution:

Yeshvia University, Manhattan

Mentors:

Sumanta Goswami

Abstract:

We will screen lung cancer cell lines for EGFR lung cancer mutations and correlate with drug resistance. We hypothesize that some mutations are sensitive to the drug and some are resistant. We will verify these mutations in patient fine needle aspirate samples, allowing physicians to provide better treatment.
