Description
This talk will provide an overview of why I applied to the specialised foundation programme and how I prepared for the application and interview. I will also provide a summary of my previous research experience, and my lab-based project that will be carried out during the specialised foundation programme research block (developing minimally invasive liquid biopsy assays to inform management decisions in HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma).
