Edward Sulston Profile

My fascination with Biology started at the age of 9, with a visit to some of the national parks in North America, since then it has been a passion of mine. I was awarded a Nuffield Bursary in the summer of 2002 for a research project in neurology at the John Radcliff Hospital in Oxford. I’ve always had a fascination with marine environments, with a pet project over sixth form at Magdalen College School helping to develop a Marine Aquarium. I did a small amount of work for the natural history department of the BBC doing research into equipment to be used for the program Amazon Abyss. Work experience half way through my sixth form consisted of working for the Park Rangers of Oxfordshire, learning of invasive species and land management. My interest has now turned towards Jungle environments, as the most species diverse ecosystems in the world they are an exciting area for study. I relish in the challenge of entering a new environment that holds many hidden wonders.
