Background

About Daniel Secker

I am a final year EPSRC funded PhD candidate at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Leeds. My PhD project is highly multi-disciplinary, and as such my knowledge spans a wide range of topics and techniques from materials chemistry and mechanical engineering to stem cell biology and neuroscience. During my studies I have also held visiting researcher positions at the University of Otago in New Zealand and Osaka University in Japan, and continue to participate in collaborative research with each hosting research group. Around my PhD studies I also maintain a part-time job at Don Whitley Scientific Ltd, where I work in an advisory role. As part of this role I am involved in or personally responsible for a diverse range of projects. In my spare time I play rugby union at Old Grovians RUFC, where I have also previously held coaching roles.
