      I have been working with cells for about 2 years now – different types of cells too, which include skin cells (keratinocytes), breast cancer cells, skin cancer cells and T-cells from the immune system

      I have been working with cells for 5 years: always cancer cells from different tissues (breast, prostate, lung, colon). They are quite nasty but easy to work with.

      I’ve been working with eggs, embryos and other cell types for about 7 years now. They are not always easy to work with!

      I have done a lot of different kinds of Biology, but I guess I started working in cell biology about 15 years ago now when I was doing my PhD (crazy eh? feels like yesterday).

      ten years while training to be a doctor and another ten as a scientist after that – and there is still sooooo much that I don’t know!!
