I studied Biochemistry but I would love to further my masters in Microbiology. But my project research topic is quite different from his laboratory’s interest which I would love to research on. Do I just focus on his laboratory research and build my interest around it or do I look elsewhere for a supervisor in line with my undergraduate research work.

  • @uchemaryann9081

    Thank you so much, Dr Muyiwa, for this insightful video. Please, I have a question. For someone who has started a PhD in his home country and wish to apply for another PhD abroad, in an area a bit different from the one you are researching on presently, is it advisable to mention that you have already started a PhD (in my second year), but want to switch to the potential professor's area? For instance, I am currently a PhD student in natural product chemistry in a Nigerian university, but I am applying for a PhD in medicinal chemistry abroad. So far, I have sent few cold emails to profs for advertised positions in medicinal chemistry, and I mentioned that I have started a PhD in natural product chemistry. One of the profs responded that my background fits best in natural product chemistry. Please, should I stop mentioning my current research experience in natural product in my sop and cv? The gap in my research journey will be so wide (about 6 years I finished my master's program) if I don't capture what I'm doing currently. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.
