【Suzhou】Multilevel Studies on the Efficacy of Anti-tumor Drugs

Malignant tumors are one of the most important diseases that seriously threaten the health and lives of our population. Anti-cancer drugs have long been the primary method of killing tumors and are widely used in clinical oncology treatment. The research in this program will involve genes, proteins and cells, mice, and other levels to investigate the effectiveness of antitumor drugs in depth.

Students will understand the current state of research on antitumor drugs, the basic knowledge and methods of drug research, development, and clinical application, as well as acquire knowledge and skills in medicine, pharmacology, and biological sciences.

What impressed me most was the immunofluorescence part. The instructor in charge provided a comprehensive and detailed explanation, covering everything from the principles of the experiment to the actual procedures, even a variety of helpful tips. This experience not only allowed me to acquire a lot of new professional theoretical knowledge and practical laboratory skills but also gave me valuable advice from the teachers and senior students at the institute. They offered guidance on holiday activity planning, off-campus academic projects, future global trends, and the pros and cons of various university majors, which have been immensely helpful for my future application planning.

This activity allowed me to conduct scientific research at the Suzhou Institute of Systems Medicine, where I was exposed to many advanced instruments and cutting-edge technologies. Under the guidance of professional technicians, I completed experiments such as PCR, IF, and Western blotting, learning many extracurricular experimental techniques and research knowledge. The most beneficial part for me was the mice dissection experiment. With the guidance of my instructors, I learned the grasping, administration, and dissection of mice, which provided me with a detailed understanding of the internal organs of mice and an intuitive grasp of the intricate structures within living organisms. In summary, it was a precious research activity.

In the XLAB laboratory, I learned a lot of new knowledge and how to use various instruments. Many excellent teachers were there to help and guide us. My biggest gain was getting to know many advanced instruments and learning how to use them, which I had never been exposed to. This experience has also benefited my target university, as I can now write more about these experiences in my statement. The content provided by the course also allowed me to experience university-level courses in advance.

The experiment involving mice dissection provided me with the most incredible learning experience. First, we learned and understood the different grades and types of mice. Then, we learned how to administer anesthesia to the mice. Finally, under the guidance of our instructor, we worked together to dissect a white mouse. In this program, we developed our ability to think independently and improved our teamwork skills. Working with my teammates was a joyful experience. Only through mutual effort and support could we make the experiment more successful. Teamwork is also highly advocated in today's society.
