Get to Know Us

Our ‘Get to Know Us’ feature is a series of Q&A. Read what staff and students have to say about the department, how they got here and what they like most about their jobs. This is also your opportunity to see a less formal side to members of the School Life Sciences and learn more about their interests outside of work.
