Laura McKiel, PhD

Laura joined STEMCELL Technologies as a Scientific Recruiter in January 2021 after completing her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Queen's University, and has recently become a Recruitment Team Lead. Laura's PhD research studied the contribution of different immune cell signalling pathways to the body's response to implanted biomedical materials. During graduate school Laura developed a keen interest in helping graduate students transition from academia into industry careers, and gained experience organizing and leading a variety of professional development seminars and workshops. Now, Laura uses her skills from this experience and her passion for science to help STEMCELL hire talented scientists.
