Hey! So I've been reading a ton of papers on magnetic hyperthermia research (implanting nanoparticles into cancerous tissue and heating up the implanted area with an AC magnetic field to melt away the tumor cells).
And now it's to the point where I would like to actually do something of my own (eg, maybe do some modeling of the temperature distribution for tumors in various parts of the body) but I just don't know how to find out what has been done and what hasn't. For example, I don't want to do modeling of temperature distribution for liver cancer if that's been done. But
It's not as if I have some grand ideas on how to cure cancer, but I am a bit tired of reading more or less the same sorts of papers and I would like to get my feet wet with doing some things on my own.
I know part of the problem is that I'm out of school and trying to get back in and I don't have a professor to turn to, but I guess I feel a bit stuck.
Any ideas?
