Question: What is your favourite thing you studied

Ellen Simmons answered on 6 Mar 2019:

I really enjoyed studying something called “Tissue and Cell Engineering”, which is basically using engineering principles with biological tissue. We learned how you would be able to take a pig’s heart, strip it down of all its “pig cells”, and then cover it in a person’s human cells to then let it be implanted into a human.

I love applying engineering to biology, because the human body is made of lots of amazing materials which you can’t find in the real world…
