Laura Sutton

PhD Candidate - Menzies Institute for Medical Research

"I am always so proud to see the outcomes of my research, the end result is the most rewarding part."

Laura started her career in the laboratory working on cancer genetics and is now in her third year of her PhD in clinical epidemiology. She is passionate about science communication and improving outcomes for women in science. When she’s not buried in her studies she is spending her time with her dog Evie, taking her on adventures and seeing the world through her eyes.

"I decided to be involved to inspire people that have a similar background to me, to get involved in STEMM."

"I am always proud of the end reward of all the research I have done and my studies, the outcomes are most rewarding."

"My main challenge so far has been overcoming my own self-doubt, how much I can achieve, and whether I am supposed to be here."
