Bone regeneration associated with spinal fusion implants

This research placement will allow me to study changes to DNA in bladder cancer using large datasets that have already been produced and annotated. I will be focusing on DNA changes that Dr Perry and her team have already shown are important in other cancer types. I will be able to show whether further research should be done using liquids such as urine to detect these DNA changes in bladder cancer patients. This information could be helpful in determining whether someone has bladder cancer or needs to get checked further. This project will provide me with a firsthand insight into cancer research and more specifically bladder cancer. I will get to learn a range of different techniques to study DNA changes in cancer.
