In 2008 she was offered a 1+3 ESRC CASE studentship with Innogen, in partnership with the Scottish Blood Transfusion Service and the Scottish Stem Cell Network.
As part of this she completed an MSc(Res) in Science and Technology Studies before moving onto the PhD portion of the award.
Emma is now halfway through her PhD looking at the regulation and innovation of clinical stem cell therapies, with particular focus on the development of cultured blood for transfusion.
She is also involved with outreach work, particularly in schools, and is an ambassador for StemNet.
Emma's PhD project, Innovation and regulation interactions in the development of clinical stem cell therapies, will investigate the range of viable public and private sector innovation trajectories, business models and hybrid approaches to the development of embryonic stem cell therapies, taking into account related social, commercial and political drivers and barriers.
