How do things like age, ancestry and environment alter our gene expression? This is a question Michelle Harwood focuses on in her research. Currently working on her PhD in Molecular Genetics, Harwood shares how she got interested in science in the first place, and how she dealt with imposter syndrome in graduate school.

KRAS Protein

KRAS is a plasma-membrane anchored protein that regulates various cellular processes such as immune response, cell replication, and cell structure. The KRAS gene is one of the most frequently mutated genes that causes cancer. Mutations in the KRAS gene are known to cause some of the most lethal cancers such as lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer by causing uncontrolled cell growth or immune system evasion. What our research aims to do is to screen a library of 63.
