LivWiSE winner presents at the European Society for Biomaterials conference

Rosti Hama Rashid, a first year Engineering PhD student was the proud winner of the LivWISE sponsored oral presentation at this year’s European Society for Biomaterials conference at the ACC convention centre in Liverpool.

The conference was organised by Professor John Hunt and Dr Nick Rhodes and welcomed close to 1000 European and international delegates to a sunny Liverpool to showcase the latest advances in biomaterials, tissue engineering and associated underpinning science.

Rosti presented her work on the effects of ascending and descending strain rate on the mechanical properties of canine cranial cruciate ligaments within the Women in Science and Engineering symposia and prompted many questions from interested delegates.

“I am so honoured to be the recipient of LivWiSE sponsorship and to be able to attend the ESB2014 conference. I have had a fantastic experience that I shall always remember.”

LivWISE strives to promote the profile of women in science and engineering and enhance the dissemination of its member’s research through an array of targeted and supported events.
