Reesha earned her MPharm degree from the University of East Anglia in 2019 before embarking on her pre-registration pharmacist training. However, her passion for research led her back to academia, where her PhD uncovered a novel mechanism underlying VSMC dysfunction in ageing and disease. Driven by a vision to make a meaningful impact, she always aspired to take her research beyond the lab-whether through commercialisation or other innovative avenues. Now, having completed her PhD, Reesha is diving into the world of startups and innovation, dedicated to translating scientific discoveries into real-world solutions.
