(pulsing electronic accents) (film projector whirring) (pleasant bell music) (pleasant piano music) - I work in a cancer research lab trying to understand how leukemia, specifically, but cancer in general arises and moves throughout the body, and how it resists therapy.
I do this by studying cells in culture.
I do this by studying mice, which have different types of cancer, and I try to figure out in them why cancer is there, what's it doing, and how we can hopefully develop mechanisms to better treat it and one day, take it to the clinic.
(pulsing electronic tones) - Was that 30 seconds (laughs)?
Yeah (laughs)?
