Trip to UT Austin for learning Advance Molecular Biology Experiments

In the Summer of 2023, we (Charlie Huang and Mark Chang) went on a trip to Dr. Benjamin Umlauf’s Lab at Dell Medical School, UT-Austin. We were there to learn Molecular Biological techniques for our neuroscience project: Developing a New Immunotherapy for Brain Tumors. We stay in Dr. Umlauf’s Lab for two weeks learning advanced molecular biology experiments and undergoing biomedical research training in Dr. Umlauf’s Lab, including new techniques and ways to design experiments and pursue scientific hypotheses and ideas for new approaches for brain tumors. We also practiced and lived in an all-English environment and intensively experienced first-hand the life of a researcher. We really appreciate Dr. Kuo for giving us this chance to learn abroad, these lessons will be helpful for our lateral research for producing and testing new brain cancer-targeting antibody-based therapies for incurable glioblastoma.
