Several years ago I came across this image. It's a picture of a breast cancer cell. Growing up I came from a family of geneticists. I was taught about genetics at the age of 6 and sought to learn much on my own. When I came across this image one day, I was fascinated by what I saw. Cancer has always been a passion of mine and finding a cure, my drive. Ideas of how to go about that have been bubbling in my head since I was a small child and it ha become almost an obsession. It's interesting to think about how one of the deadliest diseases could be cured with the use of a vector for another. It's a deadly place where the possibilities seem endless and the science is beautiful.
