Cancer’s chemical biology, which weaponizes our cells’ intricate mechanisms against us, fascinates me. The competition provided a perfect platform to couple my love for biochemistry and video-making while raising cancer awareness. I hope my video enhances public comprehension of cancer and compels them to delve deeper into researching this complex disease.
