Title: Studying Natural Products
Description: The National Cancer Institute's Natural Products Branch at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research is the largest program to collect materials worldwide from marine, plant, and microbial sources so they may be studied for possible medical uses. The fermentation lab grows fungal and bacterial cultures in liquid media. These materials are extracted using organic solvents, and eventually tested in the NCI cancer screens.
