Our postgraduate students make a huge contribution to the research activities of the Department. This was showcased at our annual Graduate Poster Symposium on 2 April, where 25 third- and fourth-year students presented their research to members of the Department.
L-R: Achombom (Jude) Tunyi (Newstead lab), Sarah Hassanein (Vasilieva lab) and Alexander Welch (Furger lab)
The posters illustrated the breadth of research carried out and prompted much lively discussions during the course of the afternoon. In his closing remarks, Professor Francis Barr, Head of Department, congratulated the students on the high standard of their posters.
Best poster prizes were awarded to Alexander Welch (Furger lab), Achombom (Jude) Tunyi (Newstead lab) and the "people's choice" prize went to Sarah Hassanein (Vasilieva lab). Thanks go to Merck and Vazyme for their generous support of this event, to Matthew Whitby, Michael Ranes, David Staunton, Clinton Lau, Andreas Gerondopoulos and Adam Cawte for judging the posters, and especially to Jessica Barnes and Dawn Gibbons for organising the event.
