Special Interest students learn about cancer treatments…..
On Thursday, March 25th, Mrs. Felegi’s Special Interest students attended a MAGPI sponsored videoconference event titled “Cell Signaling and Target Therapeutics for the Treatment of Cancer”. They had the opportunity to listen and interact with the presenter, Dr Matthew Lazzara, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The presentation outlined some basic concepts underlying receptor-medicated cell signaling in health and disease. Dr. Lazzara discussed how improperly regulated cell signaling processes can lead to cancer. Five other high schools also participated in the conference. In a round-robin format, each site had the ability to ask questions of the presenter. Our students all expressed that they enjoyed the videoconference event and are ready to participate in future events!
