Variation in preclinical colorectal-oncology mouse-model studies
A poster-led presentation of the SURP project: the research question, the slide narrative, and the abstract all point to the same issue: variation changes how mouse-model studies translate.

OutputsPoster, abstract, booklet entry, and final presentation
Skills LearnedResearch communication, slide design, scientific writing, poster synthesis, data interpretation
Slide narrative
The deck moves from colorectal-cancer context into mouse models and translational limits.
Distilled argument
The written version frames why variation matters for reproducible preclinical work.
Primary artifact
Final Poster
A compact map of the project: colorectal-cancer context, mouse-model variation, and the reproducibility problem that ties the evidence together.
The poster is the visual center of the project and the fastest way to understand the research arc.
Walkthrough
Final Presentation
The slides build the case: disease burden, mouse-model logic, model type, environment, and takeaways.

Research Abstract
The abstract is the concise written statement behind the poster.
