“This course has been tremendously fulfilling – I’m so glad I decided to go for it!
I felt very supported throughout and am very grateful to all my supervisors,
lecturers, laboratory staff, administrators and colleagues. I chose BRIMS as
I have always been interested in the neurosciences and lab research. Being
able to carry out laboratory-based research has certainly opened doors for me,
and I am looking forward to being able to work on projects that bring the realms
of biomedical and clinical research closer together.”
