Former Kelvin Science student, Glen Watt, chatted us through his journey from college to now undertaking his PHD in blood cancer research.
Glen studied on our Applied Science Course, which has direct entry onto @Glasgow Caledonian University’s degree course 👨🔬
Glen was awarded a £10,000 grant to fund his research, from life sciences company Azenta. His research project is based on developing a multi-targeting therapeutic antibody for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma.
Congratulations Glen, we look forward to seeing what you do in the future 👏
