He completed a PhD in Cancer Biology and currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at the University of Miami. His research focuses on harnessing the therapeutic potential of small extracellular vesicles, tiny packages released by cells that can be used as vehicles to deliver valuable therapeutic cargo for protecting and repairing the nervous system after spinal cord injury. In this episode, Jamie speaks about how he went from being a naughty school kid to a postdoc researcher in Miami. He wants to show other young people from similar backgrounds that they can achieve anything they put their mind to! @jamiecooper8

Introducing the Scouse Scientist Podcast, hosted by Holly Ellis (The Scouse Scientist). The Scouse Scientist Podcast aims to showcase relatable role models in STEM. The first series, "but you don't look like a scientist", highlights the diversity of careers in STEM whilst breaking down barriers, eliminating stereotypes and demonstrating that STEM is for everyone. By interviewing scientists, engineers and mathematicians about their career paths and day jobs, Holly is making these careers more accessible, relatable and most of all - interesting!
