Abstract
The goal of this research project is to develop a form of gene therapy for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. In order to do so, it is essential that we change a protein protein interaction (PPI) between a cancerous cell and the protein it is interacting with so that the cancerous cell can cease to both mutate and produce even more cancerous proteins.
