Interdisciplinary Bench-to-Bedside MSc/junior PhD Mentorship Programme
The MSc Bench-to-Bedside Mentoring Programme was founded in 2019. Since then it has been expanded to become an interdisciplinary programme between the Division of Cancer and the Division of Surgery and Interventional Science.
It aims to familiarise current and prospective MSc and junior PhD students who are planning to undertake a laboratory-based dissertation project with the clinical side of research and, importantly, realise the translational potential of their research work.
Participating students will have a chance to interact with faculty and clinicians, thereby providing a platform for discussing ideas and for fostering peer-to-peer mentorship opportunities.
