PhD in Biomedical engineering with focus in cancer therapy?

[violinist21]

Hello all,

I am going to start my senior this year graduating with B.S in Biomedical engineering and I am considering my options for the future.

I am interested in the field of drug delivery and tissue engineering and would like to do work on cancer therapies. I am articularly interested in projects related to brain cancer, leukemias, lymphomas. However I am having trouble finding schools and research advisors that focus specifically on this area.

Can you help me with some suggestions based on your experience/knowledge?

I would like to find a program in this areas of work that will get me excited otherwise I won't be able to handle a doctorate program.

Thank you.

My advice is to start reading papers in your field of interest and see who the authors are. It'll be a good way to get familiar with the field AND figure out where you might want to apply at the same time. Good luck!
