Congratulations, Dr Sidgwick!

Huge Congratulations to Frances Sidgwick for successfully defending her thesis on February 9th! Well done Dr Sidgwick!

 

Thanks also to Profs Aneika Leney and Mike Taggart for their examination!

Welcome to Meihan, Mengchun and Simran!

A warm welcome to our three new PhD students starting this September!

Meihan is a BBSRC iCASE student and will use highly sensitive mass spectrometry approaches to study ubiquitylation in the eno-lysosomal system.

Mengchun is a GSK-funded student within the MosMed DTP and will develop mass spectrometry approaches to address capability gaps in drug discovery for membrane transporters.

Simran is a Boehringer Ingelheim-funded student within the MosMed DTP and will utilise proteomics approaches in characterising disease models in inflammatory bowel disease and develop novel approaches for drug deconvolution.

Goodbye Maria and José!

We just said goodbye to our fantastic postdocs Maria Dueñas and José Luis Marin Rubio who move to the University of Perth (Australia) and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, respectively!

We are extremely grateful for their amazing work and wish them good luck for the future!
