IBMS member Siobhan Taylor has been selected for the prestigious Chief Scientific Officer’s (CSO) Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Fellowship.
Siobhan is one of three recipients and is the only Clinical Scientist within a large histopathology department at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
She is passionate about bringing together the disciplines of genetics and histology to maintain a current and relevant service.
Over the next 12 months, the CSO WISE Fellowship will give Siobhan the opportunity to be mentored by senior leaders in healthcare, industry and academia.
It offers both speaking and ambassadorial opportunities through the CSO and WISE networks. Siobhan will also have the chance to join senior leaders at NHS England advisory meetings.
She said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to achieve my personal career goals and gain the skills to help integrate molecular diagnostic testing into histology services.
“I also aim to establish better networks across this area, in order to drive the highest quality patient care.”
