Question: in your interview it says you wish to go into cancer research, if you do go into it in the future, what qualities do you think you will bring to their team of scientists?

Hi Sophie! In the first instance I think I’ll bring a huge amount of passion – Cancer research is what I have wanted to do since I was very young.

I have done a little work in early stage cancer treatment research at university, so I do have a basis of knowledge, even although I am not working in that field at the moment, and I am very keen to keep learning!

After the learning stage I think I am very good at taking what I’ve learned and coming up with outside of the box ways to apply it – that’s a skill which is pivotal to my current job!

I am also quite a good baker – so I’ll bring cake to the team, if the rest of it isn’t enough!
