Samuel Edwards

BSc Biomedical Science graduate · Incoming MSc Cancer student

About

I am an incoming Master's student in Cancer at University College London. In 2026, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield. I have developed a strong foundation in both computational biology and laboratory-based research, and I am working towards a career as a research scientist. I am particularly interested in cancer multi-omics and tumour evolution, and how these approaches can be used to better understand treatment resistance.

Education

University College London

MSc Cancer

2026–2027 Upcoming

Accepted onto the MSc Cancer programme, starting in September. I hope to build on my background in biomedical science and deepen my understanding of cancer biology, with the aim of contributing to translational research.

University of Sheffield

BSc Biomedical Science

2023–2026

I studied a wide range of modules, including molecular cell biology, genomics, and physiology. Alongside exams, my work involved reports, posters, presentations, and a dissertation on mathematical modelling of competing endogenous RNA networks. I averaged 76% in second year and am currently on track for a first-class degree.

Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul

Summer School — Statistics in Python

2025

While studying abroad in Seoul, I developed skills in exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing, and regression using Python. The course involved a group project and presentation, and I achieved an overall grade of 97%.
