This summer the University of Texas at Austin together with the Livestrong Cancer Institute hosted a group of select undergraduate students for the opportunity to work with the institute and do yearlong cancer research on any topic of their choosing. Livestrong had the pleasure to work alongside these special students and put together their research. We saw many of their ambitions turn into reality, their research took on a life of its own and brought the students to present in a crowd of friends, family, and world-renowned leaders in cancer. Livestrong had the chance to hear several different stories, the following will be just one of several captivating stories.
