Reza Vali, Alumni, 2016 Cohort
The TRP provided me with a unique learning opportunity to freely explore my own ideas and interests within the health and life sciences sector. My creativity and critical thinking was further developed by the experts who both challenged and supported a new way of thinking and doing.
