A big thank you to my tutors and friends at the 秋葵视频. Without your support and guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Memories of Greenwich
I had an excellent three-years at the 秋葵视频 studying Pharmaceutical Sciences. My final year project was an insightful opportunity in learning how to understand what independent research meant, effectively communicating science verbally and in written form, and creatively bouncing ideas with my supervisor.
The course was challenging but it excellently equipped me for the real world! My lecturers were supportive and truly cared about the student experience at university, even after I graduated.
This, alongside their dedication to the programme and time invested into enhancing lab experience, significantly helped me to gain work experience.
My time at the 秋葵视频 certainly propelled me towards the field of research.
Life after Greenwich
After graduating from the 秋葵视频 in 2016, I pursued a 4-month internship at the Est茅e Lauder Companies as an Assistant Chemist in the Quality Assurance department.
I then pursued a Masters degree in September 2016 at the UCL School of Pharmacy, University College London, in Pharmaceutical Formulation and Entrepreneurship, since my interests lied in understanding the start-up space of the pharmaceutical industry. Here I learnt about business development, patent law and finance with regards to the industry. After graduating with a Distinction, I was headhunted to work as a Research Project Manager at the UCL School of Pharmacy, where I led the writing of research and review publications, as well as a university-level book on the 3D printing of pharmaceuticals, commissioned by Springer.
I am now a second year PhD research candidate at UCL under the Centre of Doctoral Training Programme. My research is focused on understanding why males and females respond differently to medicines and is a project I thoroughly enjoy digging deeper in! I hope that my work is able to contribute towards the pharmaceutical industry in ensuring that patients receive the best treatments possible.
