Simran

Simran Kukran

Project title - Development of MRI brain tumour fingerprinting for clinical assessment of brain tumour biology


 

 

Julia

Julia Perea Paizal 

Project title - Biomechanical activation of pro-metastatic programs in circulating tumour cells by vasculature constriction forces

What were you doing before you joined the CSC Programme?

Master in Biomedical Engineering: Bionanotechnology & Advanced Biomanufacturing at the University of Twente (The Netherlands)

 

What inspired you to choose this project?

I selected this project because it merged engineering and biology, the two disciplines I am interested in, ultimately aiming to improve our understanding of cancer metastasis. Specifically, it involved engineering vascular networks using organ-on-a-chip technologies to gain insights into the behavior of circulating tumor cells.

 

Interesting fact about yourself
