Further Academic experiences
In my final undergraduate year, I was selected to study an additional class: ‘Advanced techniques in in vivo biology,’ funded by the British Pharmacological Society. This involved carrying out various in vivo techniques as part of different projects, including areas of immunology, behavioural neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

I previously developed my interest in disease pathophysiology by undertaking the Scottish Science Baccalaureate interdisciplinary project. In my chosen topic of "The role of neuroimaging in Alzheimer's disease", I worked with Biomedical Imaging Centre to study neuroimaging techniques alongside mechanisms of disease progression. This enabled development of research, interpersonal and presentation skills, with the overall experience heightening my interest in the study of human diseases.
