Any advice?

I know this would be really hard to do as many intelligent individuals would agree but where should I start if I want to find a cure for cancer? I know we are already attempting to find one and have been for sometime now but where did our best start studying so that they could start experimenting? I wanna be on the front lines someday trying to find a cure too. I’ve never had cancer and no one in my family has it but I feel like it’s kind of my responsibility to at least try and help find a cure. It’s like a calling I have inside me. I doubt I would ever find one but I wanna try. I mean no disrespect to the community, I don’t believe it’ll be easy to even get the basics down quickly. But I figure I’m still young and I’m tired of wasting time doing stupid things with my “homies” maybe I can replace that extra time with something productive.
