Institute Fellow Sally J Cutler was recently appointed to a professorship at the University of East London. Sally, whose laboratory career started as a Junior B MLSO in microbiology at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, said: Some might say that now having a ‘chair’ means that the next milestone might be the couch! What this journey demonstrates is that there are multiple ways in which a biomedical scientist can progress their careers.
From laboratory bench to chair
"My journey, though somewhat convoluted, has been challenging, demanding, but fuelled with passion, has been successful. Hopefully, this will demonstrate that there are many options and opportunities beyond the never-ending line of urines to process.”
