Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intend to pursue biomedical engineering with the goal of developing innovative biotechnology to fight cancer. By combining engineering principles with molecular and cellular biology, I hope to design targeted therapies, advanced diagnostic tools, and biomedical technologies that translate research into real-world medical solutions. My long-term goal is to work in cancer-focused biotechnology research or industry, contributing to the development of technologies that improve detection, treatment, and patient outcomes.
- Graduate school interests
I plan to major in biomedical engineering and continue my education in graduate school, where I can specialize in biotechnology applications for cancer research and treatment. Through advanced study and hands-on research, I want to explore how engineered systems, such as drug delivery technologies, diagnostic platforms, and therapeutic tools, can be used to combat cancer at the cellular and molecular level. Ultimately, I hope to contribute to the development of cutting-edge biotechnologies that bridge scientific discovery and clinical impact.
