Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Over the past summer, I worked as an intern at UCSF where I grew cell lines of PC3s (androgen independent) and LnCaps (androgen dependent) prostate cancer and performed biochemical assays to see the metabolic change from an androgen dependent to androgen independent cell. Theoretically you could use imaging such as hyper-polarized C13 imaging (a type of nuclear imaging) to see when the metabolic change happens instead of taking a biopsy which is very invasive to patients. By using the skills I learned and cellular metabolic change I hope to be able to apply this to my major by conducting further research on metabolic changes in marine organisms to help illustrate our changing ecosystems.
