Summer studentship from the Society for Endocrinology
The Society for Endocrinology is supporting a Keele medical student through a Summer Studentship grant to spend time in the laboratories of the Research Institute for Sceince & Technology in Medicine. Rebecca Yates is a graduate entry Medical School student at Keele, who already holds a degree in Molecular Medicine from the University of Sussex. She is spending the summer working on a diabetes research project in the labs of Dr Catriona Kelly, in the Guy Hilton Research Centre in Hartshill, Stoke.
Rebecca is interested in a medical career which includes cutting-edge research and is planning an intercalated year between her fourth and fifth year of medical school to take a Masters course. Rebecca says "I find the prospect of working on a project involving diabetes very interesting due to the amount of people that suffer from the disease and the work load the condition and comorbidities presents to the NHS. I am hoping to gain the ability to perform new techniques such as PCR and revisit some of the techniques I learnt previously. I also hope to be able to contribute eventually to publication and possibly presentation at a conference."
Keele University is grateful for the support of the Society for Endocrinology to both a weekly stipend for Rebecca Yates and a contribution towards the laboratory consumables used in the project.
