My name is Dr Robert J. Cooper and I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher working in the field of Computational Biomechanics at the University of Leeds. I decided to apply for a secondment with Arthritis Research UK in Chesterfield through the Translate:Me Programme to widen my understanding of the motivations and values of charitable medical research funders.
My name is Uyi Igbinoba from the School of Computing and Creative Technologies at Leeds Beckett University. I am currently working on an application for post-stroke patients. My goal is to help post-stroke patients gain some independence on their pathway towards full recovery. To achieve this I am exploring machine learning algorithms, key data features and objective ways of evaluating post stroke recovery.
My name is Alice and I am a PhD student at the University of Leeds. My research is in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine where I am developing a device to isolate a specific population of stem cells for use in autologous stem cell therapies. I decided to apply for a secondment as I think it is an amazing opportunity to gain experience in a different role and I am keen to finish my PhD with a wealth of experiences to widen my career prospects and make the most of the opportunities available.
My name is Ben Golland and I’m a second-year PhD student at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine, University of Leeds. I decided to undertake a secondment at Medipex, a centre designed to help NHS staff and departments in the Yorkshire & Humber and East Midlands regions maximise the reach of any healthcare innovations.
My name is Dr. Andrew Aldridge and I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher working in the field of Regenerative Medicine, specifically the use of adult stem cells in combination with tissue scaffolds.
My name is Fiona Walker and as a senior research technician at the University of Leeds, I support the research and development of novel biological scaffolds. These scaffolds, produced from animal and human tissues, offer a non-immunogenic and cell-free scaffold to aid in the repair of diseased or damaged tissue for patients. They have the capacity to overcome the limitations associated traditional transplant grafts.
