Programme Mentors
BioInnovate students have access to mentoring throughout the programme. Our mentors are domain experts who understand all aspects of the programme and provide students with advice, guidance, and support on their programme journey. Mentors will listen and ask questions that will challenge students to identify the course of action they need to take regarding their own development and progress through the programme.
