Between her second and third years, biology major Reema Moussa began working in a chemistry/biochemistry lab through the Tulsa Undergraduate Research Challenge.
“The research took a commonly used Alzheimer’s drug and altered it slightly to target brain cancer cells. The best part was that the compounds we developed in the lab killed brain cancer cells at a significant rate. That was just such an amazing experience because this could lead to medicine that will target those brain cancer cells while not harming healthy human cells.”
