      I think for me is cell biology. The most interesting fact that I have found in my Biochem degree is the fact that the mitochondria are only passed on from mother to their baby!

      In terms of my research, I am still in the early stages!! But I think one of my rare plants – Pseuduvaria macrophylla have shown some really interesting results – very toxic to the cancer cells so definitely need to look in to this plant further!
      And because it is rare- not many people have done work on it. I have only found one science paper that someone have found a new kind of alkaloid (a type of chemical) in this plant. So other than that I think I will have a lot more amazing things to find out
