Medicine, Cambridge Careers Masterclass

Dr Muston graduated from the University of Birmingham and completed her foundation and core clinical training in the UK. She joined the Academy in 2022 as a Clinical Teaching Fellow, later becoming Lead Clinical Teaching Fellow, and in 2025 moved into a dedicated Research and Quality Improvement role, alongside clinical work in Palliative Care. She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Education and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Leadership, and is currently completing a Master’s in Medical Education at the University of Birmingham, with a research interest in medical uncertainty. She is actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and is an ALS and GIC instructor for the Resuscitation Council UK.

Dr Alice Middleton is a medical doctor and public health researcher who studied Graduate Medicine at Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, following her initial training in dentistry. She also holds an MPhil in Population Health Sciences from St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and has undertaken specialist training in public health in the East of England.

Professor Pietro Liò is a Full Professor at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Computational Biology and a member of the Artificial Intelligence group. He holds an MA from Cambridge, a PhD in Complex Systems and Non-Linear Dynamics from the University of Firenze, and a PhD in Theoretical Genetics from the University of Pavia.

His research focuses on using AI and machine learning to develop models that integrate multi-scale biological and clinical data to address personalised and precision medicine. He is particularly interested in Graph Neural Networks, AI-based medical digital twins, and decision support systems.

He is a Fellow at Clare Hall College, a member of the Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine, ELLIS, and the Academia Europaea. He also teaches Geometric Deep Learning and serves on several key committees, including the MPhil in Computational Biology programme.

Mouhib El-Bizri is a biomolecular scientist with an academic background in pharmacology and biomedical research. He studied Biological Sciences at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Biomolecular Sciences, following a First-Class Honours degree in Pharmacology from the University of Nottingham.

His research experience spans molecular pharmacology, cell signalling, neuropharmacology and cancer-related molecular mechanisms. At Cambridge, his research focused on the regulation and dimerisation of PKN1, a protein kinase associated with cancer, investigating the molecular interactions that influence its activity. His earlier research at Nottingham explored opioid receptor function and the pharmacological properties of receptor-targeting compounds, using advanced laboratory techniques to investigate cellular responses.

With practical experience in molecular biology, protein analysis, receptor signalling and experimental pharmacology, Mouhib brings an interdisciplinary perspective to biomedical science. His academic interests extend to the connections between pharmacology, psychology, neuroscience and computational modelling, reflecting the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of modern medical research.

Alongside his research, Mouhib has experience teaching Chemistry and Biology and has been awarded a University of Cambridge School of Biological Sciences bursary for academic merit.
