I graduated from Queen Mary, University of London in 2017 and achieved a first class MEng (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering. During my Masters’ project, I had the opportunity to work with GlaxoSmithKline and the Blizzard Institute, London. My undergraduate projects gave me insight into the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, where my passion lies.

What attracted you to the Centre for Doctoral Training in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine – Innovation in Medical and Biological Engineering

I was attracted by the opportunity to join a world leading institute in orthopaedic research and tissue engineering, especially since I can advance my understanding in the area as well as work closely with clinicians and the industry. I can really appreciate the impact of the work being done at the centre.

How did you hope the CDT integrated PhD would give you an advantage over a conventional PhD?

The CDT programme offers a chance to see the clinical and industrial aspects of research (from external supervisors or external speakers working closely with the institute). It also offers a chance to focus on innovation and management in medical technology to learn professional business and innovation practices.

What have you most enjoyed during your time on the CDT Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine – Innovation in Medical and Biological Engineering programme?

So far, I have really enjoyed the lab placements and learning about all the fascinating research that happens in the institute from both the researchers and the senior CDT students.

What benefits do you feel you get from the interdisciplinary nature of the course?

As I am quite keen on the business and innovation side of medical devices and research there are several opportunities to experience the “bench to bedside” process of research and how research ideas can be translated onto market.

How do you hope to extend the experience gained from the course in your future career?

Ultimately, I wish to work in R&D conducting industrial research, so am grateful for getting the chance to work on a project with Industry where I can build the necessary skills to help me succeed.

What have you found most challenging about the CDT course?

The CDT course requires good planning and time management skills for balancing several assignments, lab work and reading at once.

Could you give one phrase that would persuade others to join the CDT?

If you want a feel of industrial research at a world leading institute – this is for you!
