  Prof. Lars-Gunnar Larsson's lab. I worked on the MYC oncogene, trying to understand its role in the development of malignant melanoma and the resistance to the conventional melanoma drug treatments, specifically about: 1) In-vitro BRAF(V600E) and MYC cooperation in melanoma in the context of drug treatment 2) Validation of the novel two-step inducable BRAFv600e/ MYC mouse melanoma model The research was funded by my summer scholarship given by the Amgen pharmaceutical company.
