This week, I started my own project within the larger umbrella of the work the laboratory does with the prostate and obesity.
progression of prostate cancer and death by the disease. However, there is controversy in the medical community over whether an increased BMI increases the risk of developing cancer. My project entails studying the effects of a lipid treatment on the expression of a protein that, in certain prostate tumors, has been inversely correlated with the activation of a pathway that promotes tumor growth.
This week, I was also able to see more of the beautiful city of Chicago. There is always something new to see at every corner, and I love simply wandering through its myriad streets. In addition to that, on Wednesday I moved to a new host family as the former would be heading off for their vacation. They are incredibly kind, and have two great dogs that are extremely energetic. They showed me some great places in the city as well as close to their home and my work.
