Project
The students worked closely with engineers, data scientists and researchers towards the latest prototype iteration for testing in the clinical environment.
The students gained invaluable insight into applying their specific and general skills developed during their PhDs whilst working in teams to commercial timelines and priorities. They learnt how to balance doing great science with a lean start up methodology. They practiced valuable communications and teamwork skills.
