This week I met with my immersion advisor, Dr. Bishoy Faltas. I will be joining him in the clinic on Tuesdays to shadow oncological consultations. I met with my lab mentors to discuss the project I will work on. I am going to join a project on optimizing the imaging of T-cells within cancer organoids, probably using micro-CT. This week I shadowed culturing and imaging of cancer organoids. The culture methods are to be optimized to get more consistent organoids before coculturing with and imaging T-cell interactions, thus currently we compared various methods of organoid culture and its effect on the shape/cell distribution using fluorescent microscopy. After it is optimized we can try the micro-CT imaging.
