Randa Elsayed

Hi! My name is Randa. I have recently joined University of Warwick to undertake a 4 year PhD in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research. I recently completed the first year of the programme, which comprised a series of taught modules as well as two mini-projects. I am currently in the first year of my PhD.
