Lots of viruses mutate very very fast. That means that their DNA changes as they grow in an infected person, which makes it really hard to design new vaccines or medicines to cure them. I would like to find a good way to design new drugs that would be able to attack viruses even if they mutate. If I managed to do that, it would potentially provide the cure for viruses like AIDS and Hepatitis C.
Ooh, that’s really hard. In my research, its probably how can we blood vessels interacting with cancer cells? It will be hard, because if we develop drugs for this it may stop your normal cells from talking to blood vessels, which would make you pretty ill.
When can I visit the deep sea? I think that is my ultimate question – I would love to see it first hand the flashing blue bio-luminescent animals creatures with HUGE teeth and weird adaptations.
To see some of the animals do a quick google search for David Shale he has some amazing pictures of deep sea animals.
