Taking Our Best Shot (TOBS): DNA and the Philadelphia Chromosome
Seminar | Available (Membership Required)
Taking Our Best Shot (TOBS) is an interdisciplinary initiative that promotes public health practices to strengthen the health of our community. TOBS have spearheaded several projects such as Infographic Challenges, TOBS at Health Conversations, and TOBS at STEAM Paths to engage, educate, empower, and inspire our friends, family, and neighbors.
DNA and the Philadelphia Chromosome
DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for all living things and is packed tightly into structures called chromosomes. However, diseases like cancer can occur because of changes or mistakes in chromosomes. We will then discuss my research as a UTMB GSBS/SPPH student, focusing on a specific chromosome linked to certain leukemias.
