MRes in Biomedical Research - Emily Heathward

What did you most enjoy about your course?

What I enjoyed the most about this masters was the core program, which gave us an insight into a wide range of different research fields and technologies. I particularly enjoyed the sessions that included the entire cohort, such as the preparation and presentation of a grant proposal.

What did you most appreciate about the Faculty/College?

The quality of the research and mentorship provided by the faculty was excellent, and I'd like to extend my thanks to the fantastic research groups that hosted my lab rotations and encouraged my development as a scientist.

How did it feel to receive the Dean's Prize?

It felt great to have all the hard work and effort of the last twelve months recognised with the award of the Dean's prize.

What are you doing now/What do you plan on doing after graduation?

I'm continuing my PhD studies with Professor Jorge Ferrer in the Beta Cell Genome Regulation Laboratory at Imperial College London, funded by the Medical Research Council.
