What We Offer
During training workshops, participants will benefit from attending lectures and seminars by leading experts in both fields. All participants will take part in small-group activities with peers and seniors to ensure they develop team working and leadership skills ready for real life working. Research opportunities offered include internships, MSc projects, PhD and Post Doctoral positions.
The Clinician Engineer Hub allows medical students and clinicians fascinated by disease pathology to understand the current diagnostic and treatment gaps in the clinical field and design effective solutions based on solid engineering principles. It will be revolutionary for your career with the unique opportunity to receive mentorship across world renowned academic centres in the UK and abroad

Guillermo U Ruiz Esparza
Harvard University
USA
Dr. Guillermo Ulises Ruiz-Esparza is a Medical Doctor, BioNanotechnologist and Entrepreneur. As a Physician Scientist his research is mainly focused in the development of Molecular NanoSystems at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology and at the Division of Engineering in Medicine part of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He received his MD and PhD in Biotechnology and Nanotechnology from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education-Houston Methodist Hospital Joint MD/PhD Program, later on he pursued his Postdoctoral training in Biodesign as well as in Smart Bio and Nanomaterials at Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He is a pioneer in the field of cardiovascular nanomedicine, as his work was the first to achieve intravascular and site-specific nanoparticle-based delivery to a failing heart, enabling the current development of new nanotechnologies for delivering genetic material and drugs for the treatment of heart failure.

Prof Marcy Zenobi Wong
ETH Zurich
Switzerland
Marcy Zenobi-Wong’s main research focus is cartilage engineering and regeneration: the success of cell-based therapies for tissue repair is dependent on our ability to reliably control the growth and differentiation of stem cells used in the treatment.
The interaction of cells with the extracellular environment can have a potent influence on cell fate. The nature of biomaterials (composition, charge and stiffness), ligand and growth factor availability, oxygen tension and the presence of mechanical and electrical signals can potently induce the desired morphology, cytoskeletal architecture and biosynthetic activity. She engineers both 2D and 3D cellular systems to mimic different extracellular environments.
