Profile
Rochelle De Silva
"The BioDesign Innovation subject was illuminating and inspiring. Working in a multidisciplinary team of biomedical engineers and MBA students, we developed an early-stage MedTech startup aimed at commercialising a medical device for women with Chronic Pelvic Pain. This experience ignited my passion for innovation and medical device creation. I had the opportunity to observe surgeries, meet MedTech entrepreneurs, pitch to investors, and advocate for novel medical technology in women’s health – an underrepresented area of healthcare."
