Talal Fazmin - Alumni

I graduated from BSC in 2014 and am currently reading Medicine at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. I’ve completed my first two pre-clinical years and will now take a year out of medical training to gain a Bachelor’s degree in physiology, development and neuroscience before returning to three more years of clinical medicine (with planned graduation in 2021).

My time in Cambridge has exposed me to the world of research and academia, which is something I have had no previous exposure to. It has given me opportunities that would hopefully lead to a career combining clinical medicine, academic research and teaching. This summer, I will be conducting a research project investigating the effects of ageing on a model of a human heart condition (Long QT Syndrome) using genetically engineering mice.
