      Hi!
      Yes, I’ve had quite a few papers published and a lot of short summaries of my work that were presented at scientific conferences. The paper I am probably proudest of was one in the Journal of General Physiology, and is about how a drug binds to signalling proteins in muscle. It was quite a long paper (25 pages) and the experiments in it took about 2 years to complete.
      Publications are really important to scientists because they are how we publicise our work. We also get judged by our bosses on how many publications we generate, and on the quality of the journal they are published in. To get a paper published, you have to have it reviewed by experts in the field (that’s called peer review) and it’s a form of quality control.
      Best wishes
      Richard

      Hey!

      Yep I’ve had a few, one about a new drug for Hepatitis C, one about diseases in pregnancy and how they affect the babies and one about what happens to the cells in your blood vessels during cardiovascular disease.

      I’m just starting in my career so hopefully there will be more in the future!

      Thanks for your question!

      Hi 426prmc37,

      Yes, I have numerous publications. I also won the British Pharmacological Society Best Poster Prize at the Pharmacology 2014 conference on my research. I have a few published abstracts on the effect of LPS (lipopolysaccharide) on chondrocytes, papers on the usage of bovine chondrocytes, and many more papers/ review articles on other topics.

      Best Wishes,

      Vedia
