Meet The Team
Dr. Christopher Kui
President. I am an Academic FY2 doctor working in the Newcastle Upon Tyne NHS Hospitals Trust. I completed my MBBS and Masters of Research in Cancer (Distinction) at Newcastle University. My interests lie with oncology, surgery, and medical education - I really enjoy teaching junior colleagues and medical students!
This year, I hope to further expand the influence of M3dicube across the UK beyond our current sites and to continue developing workshops that utilise 3D-printed models. (christopher.kui@nhs.net)
Dr. Matthew Lee
Treasurer. I am a junior doctor with a passion for health innovation and medical education. I completed foundation training at St. Thomas' Hospital and am now undertaking a Master’s in Healthcare Technologies at King’s College London alongside my involvement in the NHS Entrepreneur Programme. I have published my work with 3D-printing technology in the context of congenital heart disease.
As co-founder, ex-president and now treasurer - I hope to apply my skillset in innovation and entrepreneurship to develop M3dicube UK.
Cyrus Chan
Vice-President. I am a third-year medical student at Newcastle University and Secretary for M3dicube Newcastle. Since encountering 3D-printing while working in underwater robotics several years ago, I have become actively involved in this field and am genuinely excited about its applications within medicine.
I plan to develop and run workshops to introduce 3D-printing and CAD software to participants, in order to help them develop their skillsets and grow their passion!
Krishan Nandapalan
Education Director. I am a fifth-year medical student at Newcastle University and Treasurer for M3dicube Newcastle. This year I am undertaking an intercalated MRes in Biofabrication and Bioprinting.
I plan to facilitate the creation of new workshops to cover a range of new skills that members will be able to learn and use. I have a strong interest in making medical simulation training models using 3D-printing and other materials, and hope to share my knowledge to the wider M3dicube community.
Rachel Lee
Secretary. I am a third-year medical student at Barts and The London. I became captivated by the potential of 3D-printing after holding a 3D-printed heart for the first time at a M3dicube event, and am very excited to be able to contribute towards this field.
This year, I plan to work alongside other members of the committee to coordinate the administrative side of M3dicube and ensure all events run smoothly. I aim to continue to raise awareness of 3D-printing in medicine by increasing access and interest in our events.
Dr. Prabhvir Marway
Research Director. I am an FY2 doctor working at the Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Trust and completed my MBChB degree at Cambridge University. During my studies, I developed a passion for medical technology and education - these interests led me to help found M3dicube Cambridge.
As research director, I hope to increase interest and activity in medical 3D-printing through building a research network and developing a database of projects.
Gaurav Bhalla
Expansion Director. I am a fifth-year medical at Barts and The London’s School of Medicine. My passions lie with tissue engineering, endocrinology, neonatal medicine, coding and 3D-printing applied to healthcare.
This year, I hope to expand on the work carried out by the previous committee. In addition to providing support to existing branches, I aim to form a Pan-London M3dicube Branch, bringing together all those across London with a passion for 3D-printing.
Ruxandra Jinga
Communications Director. I am a third-year medical student at Newcastle University and Events Lead for M3dicube Newcastle. My interests lie with oncology and radiology and I am particularly excited about the potential of bioprinting in organ transplantation.
I hope to build on the work of the previous committee and further raise awareness of M3dicube’s work, through bringing our community a series of engaging talks and workshops. I also plan to enhance advertising and attract an ever-growing audience.
Dr. Sze Yi Beh
Editor. I am a Clinical Teaching Fellow working at Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia. I completed my MBBS at Newcastle University and foundation training at James Cook University Hospital. My passions lie with medical education, oncology and dermatology.
I am one of the co-founders of M3dicube and M3dicube Newcastle and provided significant contributions towards the current 3D-printing workshops. I plan to further spread the influence of M3dicube by showcasing our fantastic medical education and research projects.
