Many congratulations to King Yee Cheung, who gave an excellent pre-viva talk on her PhD project on olfactory rod cells, and successfully passed her viva. King has recently completed two busy and productive years of her A*STAR-funded project at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, supervised by Suresh Jesuthasan. Many thanks to Freek van Eeden and Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi for examining!
A warm welcome to Ethan Giles, who starts his PhD with us, jointly supervised by Ashley Cadby in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Ethan comes to us with a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry from Sheffield Hallam University, including an Erasmus year abroad in the lab of Juan Bolaños at the University of Salamanca, Spain. Ethan's project is funded by an EPSRC Neuroscience Institute Studentship.
A renewed welcome to Aaron Bailiff, who is now starting a PhD with us as a staff candidate, funded by the Wellcome Trust. Aaron also graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a BSc (Hons) in Biology, including a year's experience working as a Research Assistant at the University of Sheffield in the group of Heba Ismail.
We enjoyed an excellent series of talks at the Autumn Bateson Centre Symposium, and Tanya also attended the 3rd iGPCRNet meeting (online).
