The biosynthesis of enzymes that create antigens for various diseases such as cancer
Student Name: Kevin Jiang. UCD Department: Chemistry. UCD Mentor: Xi Chen.
Our is working in a biochemistry lab utilizing modern biotechnology methods to create an enzyme that can synthesize antigens for diseases. Utilizing bacteria as a medium, he will alter its DNA so that it will be induced into synthesizing the essential enzymes. After the enzyme has been synthesized successfully, the gene may need to be modified through mutation in order to achieve over expression in the creation of this enzyme.
