The results may change slightly if the experiment is redone but even if the dosage was changed It probably would yield similar results. Unfortunately this compound wasn’t really effective.
For the negative control (DMSO) we expected the 50% to die because of radiation and for the positive control (Coichicine) we expected 50% to die from radiation and the other 50% to die from Coichicine a known chemotherapeutic.
Great job! Would you expect different results if this experiment was repeated with a different dosage series and repeated multiple times?

What kind of proteins are present in the venom that can affect cancer cells and how do they affect these cells?
I’m not sure but I know the venom has an effect on red blood cells so it would effect the angiogenesis of a tumor.
How was the larvae irradiated?
It was placed in a radiation machine(it looks like a big microwave) while the flies were in vials.
Great job! I am curious how you got the statistics in the hypothesis section? (survival rates)

I rather liked this experiment. What would you like to test next as a potential chemotherapeutic therapy?
Personally I would like to try Jellyfish venom.
I would like to try box jellyfish venom.
I would like to try box jellyfish venom next.
I want to try jellyfish venom next.
