Student Spotlight

Dheeraj Prakaash University of Leeds Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine What skill have you learned in your studies that you find useful in other aspects of your life?

I believe that my skill set in problem solving and managing projects independently has undergone a major upgrade. On the other hand, the process of visualizing and representing biomolecular structures has helped tweak my creative side and bring out the artist in me. More importantly, during my studies, I have learned how to showcase my work to an international audience and build my professional network. For this, I would like to thank the Biophysical Society for providing one of the best platforms.
