My initial studies were in Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield. I learnt how to plan, conduct and
evaluate scientific experiments. In my final year, I undertook a library project where I learnt to critically analyse
research and the conclusions drawn from experiments. The project involved compiling a review on the different
methods of targeting anti‐cancer drugs to cancer cells. It was fascinating to understand the issue in depth and view
the varied approaches different laboratories had used. This allowed me to develop an independence of thought on
the subject and an insight on how to take the research further.
