The annual Biosciences Graduate Research School (BGRS) symposium ran last week. Alistair presented his work PhD work funded by the Wellcome Trust AAMR doctoral training programme and won the prize for best talk in the area of microbiology and infection. Well done Al.
Last week we had to say farewell to our star technician Gemma Warren. After joining the lab in 2016 Gemma worked across all of our project areas and has completely overhauled our health and safety documentation. We’re very sorry to lose her expertise but wish Gemma well in her new position at Nestlé back in her native north east.
