Early Career Researcher Hub – Proteintech Panel May 2025
Early career researchers can have diverse journeys to group leadership, or opt for a host of options in academic and non-academic careers. As a panelist and presenter, I shared the crucial impact of my family in my career progression. The early career researcher careers panel supported by Proteintech took place on the 19th of May, 2025. Check out resources on the early career researcher hub.
ASPIRE -The Medscoc Conference – February 2025
How can you get involved in research as a medical student? From intercalated degrees to the Chain Florey Clinician Scientist Fellowships funded by the MRC, there are many opportunities at different career stages. A conference organised by MedSoc.
I was pleased to be invited by the University of Birmingham Women in Medicine Society, follow them on Instagram here: uobwim
