Congratulations to Imperial College London student Nattawadee Panyain for successfully defending her thesis!
Nattawadee studied chemical biology approaches to understanding protein prenylation and deubiquitination. Nattawadee successfully defended her research this week in her viva, and celebrated with her colleagues by video conference calling.
Nattawadee will now move on to join Professor van der Goot's lab, the Laboratory of Cell and Membrane Biology at Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.
Nattawadee's PhD was funded by a Thai Government Scholarship. Congratulations again, Nattawadee!
