Hi everyone,
I will soon start PhD and discussed areas of research with my supervisor (hepatology, cancer and mRNA). I read on these areas, but cannot really come up with a project design, or, what I come up with has already been researched on and/or patented. I am also busy with the current pre-PhD project both in writing the report and workingin the lab. Any recommendations on how to prepare for the PhD and not to waste time? Any recommendations are welcome.
Kind regards,
Maria

Focus on methods, methods, methods. Build up your methodological skills early on, rather than digging deeper into any given subject. You will be likely working on different topics over time, so what you definitely need is a solid methodological skill set.

Hello María, an answer to your question, first have a good attitude, you will not waste time if you have it because you will see the opportunity to advance in everything you do. After what you say, I suggest you do a literature review and find the topic you are looking to study in your doctoral thesis. Scopus and We of Science are important for the search for literature and gaps. Finally, you must like to learn and contribute, it is not enough to like to learn because you will stay halfway, you must be risky and seek to contribute. balances
Read atleast one research methodology book, read data analysis methods specially.
