When did you decide to get involved in research and why?
As a junior surgical trainee I wanted to gain experience in formal scientific research and to work on a project with translational output. Whilst a plastic surgery SHO I was offered an exciting project under the supervision of Professor Jagdeep Nanchahal at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology. This was at a time when research degrees were being discouraged. Now I have expertise in working at the interface between plastic and reconstructive surgery and basic science research
