Biography
I am a final year medical student at University of Liverpool with an interest in academic ophthalmology research. I took time out of training to do a Masters in Research in Eye and Vision Sciences degree at the Institute of Aging and Chronic Diseases in Liverpool. During this time, my research was primarily focused on corneal and ocular surface diseases. This experience broadened my understanding in corneal and ocular surface stem cell biology using pluripotent stem cells as models. In the next year, I will be taking up a position as an academic junior doctor, which would allow me to further develop my research experience.
