Who Are We?

We are an initiative co-founded by 3 senior medical students who aim to spread the word about medical research through hands-on teaching.
At Hands-on Papers, we don’t consider ourselves more experienced or better at research than our beneficiaries; we simply consider ourselves peers who started their research journey a couple of years prior.
