I want to research on cancer treatment.
Good
I am a 2nd year B.tech Student. We have not yet started to study for our core subjects and no faculty seems to be interested in research of any kind. I really want to apply for this opportunity but i lack knowledge about the research fields which might interest me. What should i do from now?
