MedTech: Sponsorship Lead

Hi there! I'm Adara (or Addie), a first year BMB student from the UK/China running for Sponsorship Lead for MedTech :)

With MedTech being such an emerging, rapidly growing field, I'm excited to contribute to building strong partnerships between sponsors and our members to create a wider impact.

If elected as Sponsorship Lead I would:

  1. Invite leading researchers/lecturers to speak
  2. Identify sponsors and create proposals, especially startups and pharma/biotech companies
  3. Endorse collaboration between IC-events and companies
  4. Create and promote opportunities for students, by contacting researchers and guest speakers
  5. Collaborate with other universities

Beyond the classroom, I think it's important this intersection between science and tech is prioritised, learning from those leading in their fields at talks and workshops is one of our best career-advancing opportunities. I will do my best to collaborate and advocate for MedTech to help advance our careers and build connections.

Personally, I love all things biotech and medtech, especially: female health, stem cells, neuroscience and prosthetics.

Thank you for reading my manifesto, and feel free to get in contact to ask any questions, ald124@ic.ac.uk !
