Many congratulations to Emma Veale (pictured top left) from the Medway School of Pharmacy<\/a> on winning the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Emerging Technology Award<\/a> last week. WISE\u2019s annual awards recognise inspiring individuals and organisations who are actively working to achieve gender balance in STEM in the UK.<\/p>\n

Emma studied biochemistry at Brunel University in West London during which she obtained her first publication. After obtaining her degree she joined Imperial College London as a research technician, working initially in plant research (with the late Dr Gary Warren) as a molecular biologist. Emma then moved into the labs of Professor Brian Robertson and Professor Alistair Mathie as a research assistant, studying the role of mammalian ion channels in\u00a0neurons, where she combined her molecular biology skills with patch-clamp electrophysiology. In May 2007, she relocated with Professor Mathie to take up her current position as a research associate in the Biological Sciences Group within the Medway School of Pharmacy, where she obtained her PhD by published works.<\/p>\n

It is a great achievement for Emma and the Medway School of Pharmacy to be recognised at this prestigious event.<\/p>\n
