What drew us to oncology research: A community discussion
Top Replies
Hi OncoInsights, thanks for starting this discussion. My motivation came from a close friend who passed away from lung cancer. Seeing the toll it took on him and his family made me want to make a difference in the field of oncology. I'm particularly interested in immunotherapy and its potential to revolutionize cancer treatment.
Hello, I was drawn to oncology research due to its interdisciplinary nature. I have a background in both biology and computer science, and the field of bioinformatics in oncology allows me to combine my skills to analyze large datasets and contribute to personalized cancer treatment. It's incredibly rewarding work!
A lot of people might not realize this, but oncology research is not just about finding new treatments. It's also about understanding the biology of cancer, which can lead to early detection and prevention. That's what attracted me to the field – the opportunity to make a difference at various stages of cancer care.
