Meet Dr David Riglar
What course do you teach on and what is your role?
I am a stream lead for the Molecular Basis of Human Disease stream of the MRes in Biomedical Research.
How has your career led you to teaching?
I love science research and education. I run a research group at Imperial which I started in 2019 which gives me the opportunity to be involved with training our next generation of scientists.
What aspect of the course do you enjoy teaching the most?
I enjoy the interaction of teaching smaller groups and the opportunity to discuss concepts, ideas and questions.
What do you hope your students will go on to achieve on completion of this course?
I hope that students walk away excited about science and having built new skills and knowledge during this course. These will hold them in good stead no matter what their next career steps are.
What is your favorite part about teaching at Imperial College London?
I love seeing the excitement of students as they experience new ideas, approaches and areas of science.
