Three projects at the EATC4Children
Three years into starting my medical degree at the University of Liverpool I decided I wanted to take a year out of my medical studies to undertake a research master’s degree. After much deliberation I chose the Biological Sciences and Translational Medicine MRes. Because of a keen interest in paediatrics developed over the past 3 years, I decided to undertake my MRes in Women’s, Children and Perinatal health.

From medical student to postgraduate research student
I started medical school at the University of Liverpool in 2016 and have just completed my fourth year of training. I knew I wanted to intercalate from the beginning but had always battled with what course I wanted to do. After a small compulsory research module during 2nd and 3rd year supervised by Dr Louise Oni, I found I had a real interest in paediatric research and fell in love with Alder Hey. I wanted to carry on with a similar research theme and decided to undertake an MPhil in Child Health with Dr Oni as my supervisor.
