Working on an independent study with assistant professor<br />
Stephen Dunham, Casey has been exploring the properties<br />
of a cancer-fighting compound called 6-thioguanine in an effort<br />
to grasp the conditions under which it best functions to kill<br />
cancer cells. The agent itself has been utilized to combat a<br />
childhood form of leukemia. Its ability to destroy cancer cells<br />
has broadened its potential usefulness in stifling other kinds<br />
of malfunctioning cells.<br />
The compound alters the DNA of diseased cells against the<br />
body’s attempts to correct these errors, causing the cells to die<br />
rather than continue to divide.<br />
Casey loves the challenge and affirms the scientific premise<br />
that achieving solutions means eliminating the mistaken notions.<br />
His move away from an earlier interest in social science towards<br />

the sciences reflects, he says, his preference for concrete<br />
answers. “I like chemistry,” he said, “because it’s objective.”<br />
His fascination with science began when he signed on with<br />
an emergency medical treatment team whose training included<br />
instruction in anatomy and physiology. That took him to<br />
psychology, biology, philosophy, and a course in nursing.<br />
He’d like to expand his independent study into a senior<br />
Honors project because, he said, “I wouldn’t be happy leaving<br />
it half finished.”<br />
The basic trial-and-error method of science has enhanced<br />
his experience. Recently, he noted, a hypothesis he’d put forward<br />
proved to be “all wrong.” He’d arranged to mix two chemicals<br />
and predicted a turbulent reaction. It didn’t happen that way at<br />
all. He was “stunned,” he said, but the better for it.<br />
