Sumanth Gurram is a junior at Westview High School who has been working with the lab on a biophysics cancer project. He and his fellow researcher David Wu are examining the effects of low-frequency magnetic field exposure on nitric oxide synthases in various cancer and macrophages cell lines. The goal of the project is to increase nitric oxide and reactive nitrogen species concentrations to negatively affect cancer cell viability.
