Data Analysis: Report
Topic:
The researcher hopes to discover the inter-relational bonds between his three controls and
more about them in general. Each of my controls, autophagy/mitophagy, tumor translational
mediation and drug-modulated immunosuppression by means of either a T-cell blockade or other
depressant, releases on specific bodily processes which are reliant on other bodily processes.
Observing these tactics facilitates further research and the complicated procedures needed to
ensure that each system can work together. The overall goal, or the end goal, however is to
ultimately reduce antiviral responses which oncolytic viruses face from the immune system.
Method:
For this data collection, the researcher plans to do a literature review of 3 articles
surrounding his three topics. The researcher also hopes to use the knowledge provided by those
articles and surrounding background knowledge to produce possible results. To execute the type
of data collection usually required for this topic (experimental) would require a full lab, potent
viruses and many laboratory techniques and skills which he either does not have access to, or
have not learned.
Articles Used:
For each of the controls, the researcher hypotheses that 2-3 articles with great detail
would be sufficient, but more could be added later. The first two controls, cellular autophagy and
immunosuppression are both accounted for, with 3 vetted, published articles. Translational affect
is a more novel idea and thus the researcher has less of a knowledge base.

Intended Audience: The intended audience for this research is either the scientific community
specific to oncology and the frontiers in immunotherapies or researchers in this field.
Distribution Plan: The distribution plan is either through the researcher’s advisor and her broad
network of contacts or submission to a scholarly journal such as nature.
Result: The distribution plan is in the works: the paper is being constructed and will soon be
integrated into the primary background paper.
