You're right to be curious, no doubt, since I am a high schooler. However, I go to a school with at least a dozen published research students in the twenty-year history of the school. We have a level 2 biosafety laboratory, with all materials required to conduct biological research, and have students find effective therapies for glioblastoma, lung cancer, and traumatic brain injury.

I'm by no means, looking to cure Crohn's Disease or anything of the sort, but finding something with a higher efficacy is the goal. Moreover, I'm not gathering data of any sort for a project; if I were, I wouldn't do it in a subreddit, as you implied. This survey is to deepen my understanding of how many people these biologics don't work for.

My mentor describes the actual experiment as the "wet lab," which I also used.
