The approach for targeted drug delivery was extremely novel to me, and the prospect of researching US seemed very applicable to my career, as well as seeming vastly interesting.
ACT is already being studied in clinical trials. This research could lead to directly translatable outcomes for these trials and the wider ACT literature. The prospect of ACT in the clinic seems extremely high. The organ-in-chip platform could be used in multiple avenues of biomedical research.
I was a reserve for Young Masterchef 2022
I began my medical degree at St. George’s hospital in 2019, where I quickly developed a special interest in maxillofacial surgery. I transferred to Imperial for an intercalated BSc in Surgical Technology in 2022, which then led into the CSC iPhD program. Head and Neck surgery is the coolest specialty by far, but I also have a soft spot for physics and robotics. The opportunity to combine these disparate interests to develop novel surgical technologies was a dream come true. This project has potential to improve the way we diagnose and treat head and neck cancers, which could be hugely beneficial for patients, as well as facilitating a whole new field of in vivo metabolomic cancer research. It’s the kind of technology I look forward to using in my future surgical career.
I enjoy learning to figure skate in my spare time. It’s harder than it looks and there are a lot of moves to learn!
I enjoy playing the piano during my free time and I love travelling when I get the chance to.
I'm Finnish and love wild camping, despite once enduring over 40 mosquito bites in a single trip
