Just the Beginning

So far, I have gotten to the point of creating the spheroids of the pancreatic cancer cells. Creating the spheroids is in and of itself the beginning of the process, but a process of its own. After the spheroids are created, we will test certain drugs on the cells. The specific drugs are to be decided, although the one certain drug is Triptolide, which is believed to inhibit cell growth. That is the direction of the project in the future, but for now, the focus is on growing the spheroids. These spheroids must be grown carefully using the sterile technique in order to prevent contamination, but once this arduous process is completed, we will move on to the drug testing.
