Remi Villenave
Former WWIEM Postgraduate Student, now LabHead at Roche, Boston, Massachusetts
"The technical skills and scientific expertise acquired during my training in the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine at Queens University Belfast were decisive in successfully applying for a Postdoctoral position at Harvard University and enabled me to succeed in a competitive, high paced and demanding scientific environment."
Marta Vila-Gonzalez
Former WWIEM Postgraduate Student, now a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge
"When I came I didn’t know much about Belfast, but living here has been a great experience for me. I find it a very authentic city, easy to get around and with plenty to do. It is also very close to many parks, hills and nature reserves and just a few hours away from wonders like the Marble Arch caves or the Giant’s Causeway."

WWIEM Postgraduate Student
"Doing a PhD can push you out of your comfort zone and beyond your boundaries. Accompanied with the right support system and training, which I have been lucky to have, you can overcome any limitation and exceed your own abilities and expectations."

"A major component of a postgraduate program is the supervision you will have whilst carrying out your research. Here at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine you can expect to receive excellent supervision and principal investigators who will go above and beyond to assist you in your progression as a scientist and the research you undertake.
