Buddhini Samarasinghe

I am a science communicator with a focus on biomedical science. I currently work for the Medical Research Council as the Lead for Research Impact in the Evaluation and Analysis team, where I write inspiring science stories to demonstrate the impact of MRC funded research. I have a PhD and post-doctoral experience in molecular biology and cancer research. I also have extensive experience as a science communicator, and my science writing has been published on Scientific American, Nature blogs and Edge.org.
