The Role of UPF1 in Regulating Cell Survival and Proliferation of Leukemia Cells
This project studies how reducing the UPF1 gene in a human leukemia cell line changes cell growth and death. Students will help create the knockdown cells, measure gene levels, and track cell growth and death over six days.
