The ACU Fellowship allowed me to build my research interest in cancer and significantly enhance my career. Through the fellowship I took part in collaborative research, supervised by Professor Gareth Jenkins at the School of Medicine, Swansea University. I worked with professionals, received mentoring, enhanced training, and made connections which often led to further opportunities. The laboratory also has high-end facilities and I was given full access to it.
