Sarah gave an excellent short talk on the adhesion class GPCR Adgrg6 and the ongoing small molecule screening work in the lab at the BMS Research Away Day.  This was the last departmental event before the merger to form the School of Biosciences, which launches in September.

Anzar gave an excellent talk at the Adher'n Rise COST action meeting on Adhesion Class GPCRs.  The Adher'n Rise network promotes research on aGPCRs across Europe.

Many congratulations to our undergraduate research project student Rita Dapaah, who has graduated with a First Class degree and the Brian Clarke Prize for enhancing the learning experience of BMS undergraduates.
