Have you ever had a blood test? If you have then I have probably done a biomedical test on it. I can test your blood to find out how many white cells you have and how many red cell you have.

I can also look down a microscope and see if the cells in your blood all look normal like the picture above.

I also use lots of different machines to test blood to check if your kidneys, heart, liver… in fact check if all your organs are working as should to keep you healthy and strong.

Have you ever had a vaccination? I test your blood to make sure you have the right amount of antibodies that can help you fight off any nasty diseases.
My Typical Day:

Have breakfast, check emails, deliver lectures or laboratory classes. After work go to the gym or head home and watch Netflix.
What I'd do with the prize money:

With the prize money I will help my science students visit and talk to students at local primary and secondary schools. My students come from different backgrounds and have interesting stories about their journey into science at university and where they hope to go next. Sometimes hearing other people’s stories can help you make life changing decisions.
