Anna very adeptly defended her PhD thesis this week, in a move that surprised no one. She has been a steadily hardworking student since joining the lab, and succeeded in her PhD despite quite a few not insignificant obstacles. We fully anticipate that she will continue to impress, wherever she goes next!
The congratulations just keep on coming- now they are due to Anna and Rui Yan on their paper “State-dependent binding of cholesterol and an anionic lipid to the muscle-type Torpedo nicotinic acetylcholine receptor”, which is being published in Communications Biology – Nature.
Honestly, from what we could tell, the real hard work on this paper wasn’t the paper itself, it was uploading the simulation data to the paper’s database.
In the latest of a series of Mack-related posts, we again congratulate our favourite senior PhD student who successfully defended his thesis today! Mack has already gotten a posting as a post-doc at a lab down in California, and we wish him all the best! We’ll miss him though!
Camille successfully defended her thesis during the pandemic, but was finally able to celebrate at summer convocation, not just as a graduate, but as valedictorian and winner of the Governor General’s gold medal! The real achievement was uOttawa’s, for actually getting her to attend convocation.
Congratulations are due to Daniel Therien and Jiayin Sun who successfully defended their MSc theses (in rapid succession!). It has been a pleasure to have both of these wonderful people in the lab. Jiayin will be beginning Med school in Syracuse NY, while Daniel has chosen to continue his studies with a PhD at McGill in Mtl. Best of luck to both!
The lastest in a growing line of Baenziger lab prize winners, Jiayin Sun took home 2nd place in the BMI poster day, MSc Biochem!
Congratulations to Camille Hénault, who was awarded a three-year NSERC CGSD (PhD) scholarship!
