Postgraduate Training Co-ordinator

A diverse team
Julia is looking forward to working with the diverse team at the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research. She said:
‘As the post-graduate training coordinator for the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research, I look forward to organising a training and leadership platform for the PhD students and post-doctoral researchers within the Centre to help develop and advance the skill sets they need to become the best researchers they can be in asthma research.’
Julia is taking on the role from Lauren Blake as she enjoys her maternity leave. Julia will be liaising with PhD student across the Centre to help us build capacity and capability in the applied asthma research field.
