Leading Imperial Proteomics Researcher Visits
On Wednesday Lower Sixth Biologists turned up to their lessons expecting to go through an exam, but instead were treated to a lecture by a senior proteomics researcher from Imperial College. Dr Harry Whitwell talked about how his department at Imperial separate and identify proteins through mass spectrometry, and how he uses this in his research in the early detection of ovarian cancer. The lecture not only took our Lower Sixth into undergraduate level Biology but was inspirational in showing our Sixth Form just what one can do by taking Biology at University.
