A MALVERN PhD graduate presented a research poster to members of Parliament after taking part in the Science, Engineering and Technology for Britain competition.
Thomas Lanyon-Hogg, aged 27, of Lockyear Close, Colwall, reached the final of the competition but did not win.
The biology and biomedical sciences session at the Commons lasted for two hours and saw all the participants including Dr Lanyon-Hogg presenting posters detailing their research to a range of MPs, members of the scientific judging panel, other scientists, and representatives from sponsoring bodies.
His research involved developing techniques to detect interactions between biological molecules.
He said: “The competition has been a fantastic experience and I have really enjoyed taking part.
“As an early-career scientist, it's a real privilege to be able to discuss my research with members of Parliament.
“It's also been a great opportunity to see the amount of truly excellent scientific research taking place in this country, and I feel honoured to have reached the final of the competition.”
