Following university I completed the Teach First Leadership Development programme and gained my PGCE from Exeter University.
I studied at Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and graduated in 2014.
In her free time she loves to trek and play badminton. She is currently using her expertise to address the role of RNA modifications in human cancer cells. She did her PhD in Stem Cell Biology and RNA biology where she identified a novel factor associated with flatworm regeneration. His interest in the SCoPE project arose from his own experiences as an A level student where he remembers being bored by biology practicals! Outside of the lab, Minaam is a keen cricket and football fan and is striving towards creating the perfect sound system.ĭhiru Bansal is a Research Associate at the Gurdon Institute. He is developing a novel class of anti-cancer drugs to target these enzymes. Minaam is investigating how enzymes involved in regulating the epigenome are subverted by cancer. He is currently pursuing his PhD in the Kouzarides Lab at the Gurdon Institute. Minaam is an MB/PhD candidate and a Gates Scholar at the University of Cambridge. When not working, Diogo loves playing football, running and reading. Diogo holds a PhD from the School of Education National University of Galway, Ireland. He is responsible for developing strategies and practices to embed a culture of excellence in public engagement with relevant areas of research at the University. The downloadable documents will be updated to reflect new additions when they are fully functional and available.ĭiogo is the Public Engagement Coordinator for the School of Clinical Medicine and Biological Sciences at the University of Cambridge. We are working on adding new functions to the Cell Explorer (e.g. In addition to providing teacher notes and student worksheets to use with the model, we have also included a ‘research summaries’ document for students who are interested in extending their knowledge beyond the A-level curriculum. Our aim is to make it easier for students to visualise the cell and its processes by allowing them to physically manipulate the cell and its organelles. This interactive 3D model is designed to address these issues by allowing students to zoom in and out of the cell, understand what can and can’t be seen at different levels of magnification and how the organelles create the cell’s structure. Many misconceptions surrounding cells and cell structure are focused on issues of scale and content. This toolkit is designed to help students understand just how tiny but complex cells are and how important understanding cells is to biology as a whole. However, we often forget that conceptualising something too small for the naked eye to see requires a cognitive leap. The structure of eukaryotic cells is one of the first concepts taught in many current specifications and it’s easy to think this might be simple for students to understand.
