Most children want to be pop stars or footballers when they grow up. But 11-year-old Amy Jones had the chance to 1 more about her 2 job -- a medical biologist when she won an essay writing competition for primary students.

　　 Amy's 3 for the best essay on "What I want to be when I'm older" was a day at the Oxford Medical Science Institute. Staff organized a special programme for the would-be 　4 , introducing her to the projects being worked on by medical biologists at Oxford. The sessions included a look at the 5 of medical biologists in fighting cancers and 6 to become a medical biologist.

　　 Amy said she was 7 to become a biologist after watching a television programme. In her essay she wrote: "The medical biologist plays a big role in many discoveries and it would be a challenging, exciting and 8 job."

　　 Dr Kathryn Robson, the Institute director said: "It's 9 that we encourage young people to study science and think about scientific research as a job. I hope Amy now has a better 10 of what it takes to become a medical biologist."
