Accomplishments
I participated in an independent study with my Horticulture professor at Western Illinois University on a research project in accompaniment by the Biology Department. This independent study focused on the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs and those herbs popular in Japanese herbology. The instructors had identified several species of plants that promote anti-cancer effects on immortal cancer cells. This project delved further into the generation of those plants as well as serve for better protocol for cultivating those plants in a controlled greenhouse environment.
