Read what our recent Non-Russell Group scholarship winner, Khidash, had to say about his experience of our summer school:
My experience at the Imperial College London Summer School in Revolutions in Biomedicine was enriching, both academically and personally. The Non-Russell Group Scholarship I received enabled me to work closely with a PhD student specialising in Cancer Biology, providing invaluable one-on-one mentorship. Through our discussions and hands-on learning, I gained deep insights into the importance of cancer research, particularly in understanding cellular mechanisms and innovative treatments. This mentorship broadened my knowledge of cancer biology and significantly enhanced my confidence in research. Additionally, hearing from world-renowned academics during the program was inspiring. Their insights into cutting-edge research and breakthroughs in the biomedical field gave me a broader perspective and reinforced my passion for science.
Thanks to this experience, I now approach my coursework and research with greater clarity and purpose. It has given me the confidence to think critically and tackle complex problems, which will be essential as I begin to think about my dissertation. I feel better equipped to explore future research topics like immunology and molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, this experience has inspired me to consider postgraduate opportunities at Imperial, knowing I have the foundation and skill set to thrive in such an environment.
The knowledge and skills I gained during this program have already been invaluable in my current Biomedical Science degree and will continue to shape my academic and professional journey.
