EnlargeRachel, tell us a bit about your background and your projects so far?
My interest and background has always been directed towards medical applications. I have worked in several life science companies from FTSE 50 to SME and a startup where I used my biochemistry and physiology degree as a base to bring molecular research tools to the market for academic research and drug discovery. A deep understanding of medical science together with the ability to appoint and work with multi-disciplinary teams building platform technologies including reagents, equipment and software has stood me in good stead for the last 10 years in medical devices.
I am currently working to deliver a range of wearable medical devices from a platform technology capable of increasing blood circulation which is a valuable benefit for many patient groups including surgical patients, stroke patients and those with chronic wounds.
