My research project

I am currently conducting research on the simulation of dermal fibroblasts in stirred tank reactors. The purpose of my research is to develop the process and analyse the feasible parameters for the growth of human skin cells on a large scale using stir tank reactors.

The main benefit of my research is the production of artificial organs. Generally, stem cells are used in the production of artificial organs but it needs to have a stem cell bank where the growth of this can be complicated. Therefore my research can help produce cells from a skin cell sample which can then be used further, for example, in skin transplants or plastic surgery.

My greatest achievements

My greatest achievement at Loughborough is becoming an academic representative. In this role, I act as a bridge between the students in the course and the faculty. I help them in communicating their views and issues regarding the course to the concerned authorities. Being an academic representative has allowed me to develop my transferrable skills like communication, working in a team and giving presentations. It's great that I can be the voice of my peers and make an impact in the School.
