As a Fellowship Advisor, Yalini is responsible for assessing applicants’ eligibility for a Fellowship, supporting them through the application process and mentoring successful Fellows throughout their Fellowship.

After completing her BSc in Biochemistry and then a PhD in Neuroscience, Yalini spent the last 15 years supporting scientists, research staff and students in the charity, education, media and higher education sectors. She has worked with research students and staff in a variety of areas, including researcher development, grant funding coordination, intellectual property and science communication. This interest in supporting the early careers of individuals led her to become a Careers Consultant – firstly at King’s College London working with biosciences students, then with engineering students at Queen Mary, University of London. Prior to joining the Trust, Yalini was a freelance Careers Consultant supporting post docs and PhD students in their career planning.
