Have a look at our new paper out on bioRXive, featuring my MRes work! Will never forget my assay failing for 6 months just for the missing ingredient to be a glass bead in the well (to stir it) 🤦‍♀️ My first time being humbled by science! Very proud of this work 😊

Hello! I've decided to create a personal website focusing on science, technology, and their societal impact, as well as broader philosophical questions about our being. The motivation behind the site is outlined in my first blog post: phillipmuza.github.io/read-m…

Had a fab day at the @ARUKscientist London Network Science Day! Lovely to share some work (posters by me and @PhillipMuza), make some new friends, and catch up with familiar faces! My fave talk of the day was @SophieMorse on BBB & focused ultrasound, some great ECR talks too.
