Kulraj Singh Bhangra was a Volunteer Writer at BioNews, having originally joined the publication under the auspices of its writing scheme. He is currently completing a Doctoral Training Programme in Medical Device Innovation at University College London, which has involved completing an MRes in Medical Technology Entrepreneurship prior to commencing his PhD. His PhD project involves combining tissue engineering, biomaterials and computational modelling techniques to develop living replacement tissue for repairing the nervous system. Owing to its interdisciplinary nature, the project has four supervisors - Dr David Choi, Professor Jonathan Knowles, Dr James Phillips and Dr Rebecca Shipley. Previously, he studied Medical Engineering at Queen Mary University of London's School of Engineering and Materials Science. He has a strong interest in promoting the public understanding of science, and has been involved in local and national outreach activities including the Big Bang Fair and the Cheltenham Science Festival.
