interest The increasing interest in cancer trigger my strong desire on the involvement in the research of this field. During my undergraduate period, I selected the dissertation project that focused on investigating the crosstalk between glycan structures and cancer disease progression, which gave me a taste of cancer research. To obtain professional training in this field, I took the MSc cancer programme at University College London where I acquired a basic knowledge of cancer biology and got a better understanding of the current state of cancer research in different fields, such as epigenetic modifications, cell cycle regulation and minimal residual disease.
