Hi LJ,
Life is great. I have a place in the Inner Sunset District of SF with cheap rent and two good friends, a job offer to do cancer research with the director of OBGYN Oncology at UCSF only 2 blocks away from my place, an interview with the Gladstone Institute (although I'll probably just take the cancer research job) and i'm going to see armin van buuren on Saturday. Holy crap, i'm graduating college...living the dream!
Just as a fun exercise, i'll write down what i THINK i'll be doing, and after 6 months or so I'll read it and see how close/far I am in my perception of this job
Perform laboratory bench research on ovarian cancer stem cells, the ones that don't die from chemotherapy. Look at the what genes are upregulated or downregulated, look for ways to best isolate these types of cells, then look at way to kill them.
Perform database analysis of all of the women in the greater bay area who have OBGYN-related cancer, looking for possible trends that may lead to development of cancer, or better treatment
Assist with clinical research, involvement unknown
Collaborate with Stanford University in a study, specifics currently unknown
I'll be traveling between the Parnassus UCSF campus, Mt. Zion Clinical Cancer Center (where I think my PERSONAL office will be), and maybe to the doctor's private practice office too...and Stanford?
HOLY CRAP he wants to publish 10 papers by the end of May...
I have a feeling that this will be one of the most intense and rewarding experiences of my young life. I am SO looking forward to this. Not to mention I'll be living like 2 blocks from golden gate park, and 2 blocks away from work, and 2 blocks from THIS
