Ben Golland

Profile

After gaining a BSc in Biochemsitry from the University of Birmingham and spending a year at GSK, I decided to move into engineering. I feel the application of science is both important and enjoyable, which is reflected in the antibody engineering work I conducted at GSK and my final year project analysing the current FDA approved drug library for novel anti-tuberculosis drugs. The Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (iMBE) and the University of Leeds in general has a strong interest in translation which aligns with my own focus to push science from benchside to bedside.
