Workshop UNC - From DNA to Protein

        During the three-day workshop from UNC we were taught several terms related to

cancer and some techniques used in cancer research. We learned that cancer is caused by

mutated genes and proteins. Oncogenic proteins cause abnormal cell behavior and erratic cell

function. The first experiment we did consisted of isolating our DNA using Gatorade and alcohol.

The second experiment was a bit more complicated. We were given a “patient’s” genes and we

had to determine if those genes were oncogenic. To do this we used electrophoresis. By

comparing the patient’s genes with our positive and negative controls we were able to

determine that our patient was positive for the oncogene. In the last experiment we studied

proteins. We had to conduct protein electrophoresis, unfortunately ours didn’t work and we

weren’t able to come to any conclusions about whether or not our patient had an oncogenic

protein. Additional to all these workshops we were also given a short presentation on the

different programs offered at UNC. They told us a bit about ‘Translational Medicine’, which is a

program that takes research that is being done and sees how it can be directly applied to

treatments in the clinic.
