I am most proud of completing my PhD! To get a PhD takes an awful lot of work- about 7 years altogether, after you finish your A-levels- and studying the same subject for the last three years (the PhD part) isn’t easy and takes a lot of dedication. However, it has given me a lot of confidence in my abilities as a scientist and am really glad I did it!

15 years ago I’d have said the work I’ve done. Nowadays it’s the people whose careers I’ve helped to launch too.

It really makes me happy to think that I’m doing something useful. Every experiment that I do in my project (well, the ones that work, anyway) tells us a little bit more about why our body’s immune system reacts to cancer the way it does. This means that my results and conclusions will eventually point us towards the best way to help the immune system defeat cancer – and this is desperately important to so many people who are living with cancer, especially if for some reason the treatments we currently use don’t work for them. My own hands are just one small pair among the hundreds of thousands all pushing towards the big goal at the end, but I’m really proud that I’m doing my part, too!

I was very proud when my first scientific paper was published! It is really exciting to have done something that is good enough to publish and that other people might want to read or use.

The fact that my research isn’t pointless but has an aim: looking into a treatment for multiple sclerosis – it’s really exciting!
