As a dedicated clinical researcher, I bring extensive hands-on experience from St. Mark’s Hospital, where I addressed the complex challenges of wound healing in Crohn’s Disease. My work has provided crucial insights into immune cell function, leading to transformative recovery strategies. At University College London, I have also developed biodegradable polymers for tissue engineering, merging creativity and science to improve patient care. I have presented my research at numerous national and international conferences and published in several peer-reviewed journals, all aimed at revolutionizing patient outcomes and advancing colorectal treatment.
