Gene Therapy

Cancer destroys lives; turns children into orphans; and brings utter devastation to the lives of victims and their families. After watching my uncle die of lung cancer in 2010, I decided to pursue a degree in biotechnology—I want my life’s work to focus on preventing this type of pain and devastation in others. In my first year in  university , my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer . During her treatment, she experienced hair loss , losing of appetite, bones pain , nausea , and insomnia. As much as these things hurt me inside as much as it gave me a power  and  motivated me  to  obtain a graduate degree in gene therapy .
