The Biomed Diaries

I'm a Graduate of University of Lincoln in BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences. Then hopefully on to do a Masters and Phd in Oncology or cardiothoracic pathology to enable me to climb the large ladder to pursue my career as a doctor in the medical profession :) I completed my dissertation upon the evaluation of hormone receptors within breast cancer drug therapy as well as going through the motions of applying for a PhD to complete my journey of becoming an Research Scientist.

I currently work at the University of Lincoln where I just graduated and hope to develop my career within the profression of lecturing.

I also work in some aspects of trauma and paediatrics and work as an Advanced First Aider within the order of St. John Ambulance with 16 years service and continuing on.

As I study I also draw illustrations to aid my with my studies and also teaching. I illustrate and photograph many things I see in the labs and also draw images such as blood films, cellular pathology and human anatomy. I post all illustrations I make. I'm currently putting all my illustrations towards a portfolio in the hope that one day I can go to art school to do a diploma in Illustration. One of the things I'm aiming at doing in my career is writing a text book, and I'd love to be able to contribute towards the illustrations and diagrams in the publication.

Follow my journey as I go through all of my research projects, both at degree, MSc and Ph.D. level, extracurricular research projects and more. I write articles for the Tool International Network and also journals for local journals. I also enter various science competitions.
