      Hi Curly Kid

      I always knew I wanted to go into science. Originally I wanted to be a forensic scientist which is someone who uses science to solve crime. So I went to university and started my degree in biochemistry. That year my best friend died of breast cancer, we also started studying cancer and how cells to wrong and I found that fascinating.

      So both in memory of my best friend and also because I find the subject really interesting I specialised in cancer.

      Alex
