Be like Rumy, Come and study cancer biology in sheffield - sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate…
This is what current student Rumy has to say about the course! "Throughout this course and my research project I had the amazing opportunity to learn invaluable skills that led me to build, program and implement my own automated imaging robot from scratch."

438 new Covid deaths reported yesterday. Yet today @BorisJohnson scraps Plan B measures. A prime minister who prioritises saving his own political skin over the actual deaths of others.
