Title: Reflections on SUPERGEN – 10 years on
From 2006 to 2011 I was a PhD student, and then a post-doctoral researcher at Imperial College under the auspices of the H2FC Supergen programme. I will briefly reflect on my experiences, and explore how the programme informed my future work, network of collaborators and research philosophy.
