  Hi Kingfisher,
  
  Someone I know was diagnosed with Cancer few years back and at that time I realized how important is to detect cancer in early stages. At that time I was working on a medical device for glucose detection for diabetic people. Few months back when I got this opportunity of working in the field of cancer detection I joined this as I really want to develop something like this.
