Liz Broom (2015)

Liz studied Natural Sciences at St John’s, specialising in Biochemistry. During her time she enjoyed playing hockey with the Nags and serving on the May Ball Committee, where she worked her way from Subscener to Vice President. After graduating she took some time out to travel with a group of her fellow Johnians. Upon her return Liz began working at the Cambridge COVID-19 National Testing Centre as a scientist, before joining AstraZeneca within their Oncology R&D team. In 2022 she started a biomedical PhD at UCL. Outside of science Liz enjoys skiing – a hobby owed to her time at John’s. She tried the sport for the first time on the Varsity Trip and has since worked a winter season in the French Alps, with plans for another ski season post-PhD.
