Jan Rogel
After finish undergraduate studies, I have developed interest in bioinformatics and molecular biology. I graduated from my MSc in Bioinformatics at University of Leicester and got accepted as a research fellow, allowing me to continue to follow my interests in machine learning, explainable AI and cancer genomics.
Jake Spicer
I completed my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at the University of Leicester in 2018. Following this I completed a molecular pathology and therapeutics of cancer master degree in 2019 at the University of Leicester. I then took a year out before returning to Leicester in 2020 to undertake a PhD with Professor Dean Fennell, focusing on targeting homologous recombination deficiencies in mesothelioma
