Stanford Cancer Application Research Paper

In the last two years doing research concerning cancer biology, I realized that cancer is such a sophisticated disease. It’s almost like a great villain in superhero movies, with each metastatic cell taking out whatever comes in its way while stealthily stealing nutrition and blood supply to feed itself. Selfishly maximizing its own chance at survival, cancer is complicated, invasive, aggressive and intriguing. Going forward into graduate schools, I hope my research will continue in the field dedicated to defeating one of the most powerful and intelligent enemies who even has Darwinian evolution in its favor。
I believe Stanford is the best place to achieve my goal. The faculty at Stanford cancer biology program focus on a range of exciting …show more content…
The chemical biology interface program in Stanford is also very unique. By surveying the cell chenome, the elaborate design of billion years of evolution, it takes into account of a desperately needed input for how chemical environment factored into the epigenetic implication for cancer. But what attracts me the most about Stanford is how closely different department works together. Stanford comes the closest to adopting the right conceptual mindset to defeat disease such as cancer. It recognize that to better visualize cellular pathways we need help from the engineering department to refine optic tools, to design a small molecule we requires input from physics department on thermodynamic energy flow, to analyze real patients samples and personalize treatment through programs like spark and spectrum, we need mathematician and computer scientists. More specifically, I’m particularly interested in the research of Dr. Jennifer Cochran, Dr. Marius Wernig and Dr. Albert Wong, not only they epitomized
