Academic profile

Biomedical Science (Hons)

I graduated with First Class Honours in BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. The degree included practical laboratory training across microbiology, molecular biology, diagnostic pathology, histology and biochemistry, alongside the genomics, health data science and healthcare innovation work shown elsewhere in the portfolio.

Degree practicals

Practical laboratory work

Supervised and assessed degree practicals gave me repeated experience of culture work, molecular methods, diagnostic workflows, microscopy and biochemical measurement.

Supervised degree practicals

Microbiology

Module evidence: General Microbiology
Methods used: Aseptic technique and culture handling, agar preparation, streak and spread plating, Gram staining, oxidase and catalase testing, disk diffusion, colony counting and CFU/ml calculations.
How it was evidenced: The assessed practical series used a mock food-poisoning investigation, with an unknown organism identified from the combined culture, staining and biochemical evidence.

Supervised degree practicals

DNA manipulation and protein expression

Module evidence: Laboratory Techniques in DNA Manipulation
Methods used: Micropipetting, solution preparation, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, spin-column purification, restriction digestion, ligation, plating, colony PCR, clone-screening logic and SDS-PAGE interpretation.
How it was evidenced: The module combined a repeated cloning workflow with a laboratory report and an assessed in-class practical covering pipetting, gel loading, weighing and molar-solution preparation.

Supervised degree practicals

Diagnostic pathology

Module evidence: Diagnostic Techniques in Pathology
Methods used: Specimen-reception and LIMS exercises, microbiology practicals, indirect ELISA with a standard curve and plate-reader measurement, and H&E and Papanicolaou staining.
How it was evidenced: The work followed practical protocols and introduced controls, result interpretation, quality systems and the boundaries set by SOPs and fitness to practise.

Supervised degree practicals

Microscopy and biochemistry

Module evidence: Human Anatomy and Physiology; Introduction to Cell Biology and Biochemistry
Methods used: Light microscopy across multiple magnifications, graticule calibration, oil immersion, tissue observation, enzyme assays and protein purification.
How it was evidenced: Microscopy and laboratory-skills components were assessed, while the biochemistry module used a six-part laboratory-report sequence alongside practical teaching.

How I describe this experience

These methods come from supervised and assessed degree practicals rather than professional laboratory employment. I have kept simulated and computational exercises out of the hands-on list.

Academic emphasis

The degree covered pathology, genetics, pharmacology, microbiology, haematology, immunology, translational medicine, quantitative methods and scientific writing.
