Dr Abigail Martin’s journey from scientist to Director began at the University of Hertfordshire.

During her PhD, Abigail developed an innovative in-vitro human lung model to test the effects of inhaled chemicals and particles - offering a more ethical and reliable alternative to animal testing. Working under the supervision of Herts Professor Victoria Hutter, she built a working prototype.

In 2019, the two co-founded ImmuONE, a University of Hertfordshire biotech spin-out company that helps businesses test their products and bring them to market. Since its launch, ImmuONE has secured millions in funding to support its growth and development.

In this episode, Bre joins Abigail at the ImmuONE labs in Stevenage to talk about her time at Herts and her journey from research to entrepreneurship.
