“The Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine MSc has offered me a fantastic opportunity to further expand the scope of my studies and delve deep into the field of regenerative medicine. The course covered both the theoretical side of stem cell biology as well as fundamental practical techniques.


Here I had the opportunity to get first-hand experience in conducting and managing my own research, taking it from its earliest stages to eventually presenting the final data to colleagues and peers. To be able to contribute to the forefront of scientific research is a great privilege and to do so within the Department of Biomedical Sciences was certainly a highlight for me.
