Deepti Chichula (2011/12)

Deepti's experience on the MSc Biomedical Sciences has inspired her to pursue a PhD in cancer biology.

What did you get out of the course?

I had a fantastic experience being a part of many renowned research centres in the university. A lot of breakthrough research is being carried out in vast number of subjects where I got the chance to decide on what interests me and what could actually be my career goal.

My research themes were cell communication and inflammation research for both semesters and the lab faculty are extremely helpful and friendly to be with. I have also received a great support from the programme coordinators during hard times which is very necessary for an international student.

Where are you hoping to go next?

This course has showed me what my research interests are and I am very much interested in pursuing a PhD in cancer biology. This lab rotation programme has given a flexible selection criteria for a student to choose their interested theme and lab in which we could work. Both my mini and maxi-projects have helped me decide my career path.

On the whole, I had a good time working in these prestigious research institutes. Thank you.
