Where are they now?
The support of the Medical Technologies
IKC goes beyond advancing technologies,
products and services: we seek to ensure
that those involved with every stage of the
translational research pipeline can benefit
professionally from their experience of
working with us.
Our proof of concept partners have
pursued a variety of fascinating career
paths in the last 12 months:
Was: Research & Technical
Manager at Tissue Regenix Ltd
Now: University Academic Fellow
in Cardiovascular Regenerative
Therapies & Devices, University
of Leeds
“
In my past roles within the University of Leeds and the spin-out
company, Tissue Regenix, I was fortunate enough to directly contribute to
the successful translation of a research concept through to delivery of a
regulatory-approved clinical product.
The experience of working in a spin-out company, from its inception to
international expansion, was invaluable in understanding translational
and commercial challenges and developing partnerships. It allowed
me to develop skills in new product development, establishing quality
systems, managing teams, conducting collaborative research, and
identifying clinical needs and potential solutions.
Working in partnership with the University kept me connected to my
real passion – fundamental and applied research – prompting a return
to academia when the opportunity arose. The insights and skills gained
from my roles in industry will help inform the future development of
regenerative devices and assist in addressing translational challenges.
