thanks for your comment. if nothing comes up on it's own, I won't hesitate to try my luck laying the foundation.
about choosing subject of study, i already did! i'm a senior and have 3 papers on hand to publish. no way i'm going to think for a second about choosing a different career. not just because i'm good at it or almost done with undergrad schooling, but because this is what i love doing. and cancer research is not like studying fauna in Antarctica or Mars; it can be done anywhere given that we have facilities.
but you still didn't answer my question, thanks anyways. hope someone with more idea on this field of GC/PR thing will answer it.
