I would like to thank Matthew DeSelm for his experience with anti-tumor and anti-cancer drugs and for being both my mentor and advisor in writing this paper and carrying out my research. In addition, I am appreciative of the lab and calculation assistance provided by Saba Wolde. This project would not have been possible without the financial research contributions made by Xcel Energy to my participation in intimate research. Also acknowledged is Lori Ball, the director of the FSI program and the entire FSI staff, for providing us with this opportunity and Timothy Fredrick, Dr. Kevin and Monna Lear, and the Joseph Family for sponsoring our participation in this program. I would also like to thank my peers and my family for their continuous support through this wonderful program.
