Example: proposing a new therapy for cancer (one that is not currently used or in clinical trials).
Note: there are many, many different types of cancer, and subtypes. There are many,many types of treatments out right now and many more in the pipeline (what pharm people call the series of trials to approve a drug for usage). There are research being done on many, many pathways.
I hope the PIs aren't really expecting something noteworthy out of us first years here. Like the next imatinib.
(I skipped the question about the upstream and downstream pathways. People spent 30 years studying one pathway in cancer. I have no idea how to even begin to describe the masses of pathways that are involved.)
(Thank you, Anna. I had chocolate. It did indeed improve my mood somewhat.)
