• date_range Dec. 17, 2019 - Sawyer Medal Awarded to Carlos Rodrigues
  

  Our PhD student, Carlos Rodrigues, was awarded the 2019 Sawyer Medal for outstanding achievements during a PhD. Well done, Carlos!

• date_range Dec. 7, 2019 - Oral presentation at MM2019 by Malancha Karmakar
  

  Our PhD student, Malancha Karmakar, gave a brilliant talk at the MM2019. She demonstrated the power of using structural info to accurately identify drug resistance mutations in TB sequencing. SUSPECT-PZA & SUSPECT-BDQ are already proving clinically powerful.

• date_range Dec. 7, 2019 - Oral presentation at MM2019 by Stephanie Portelli
  

  Our PhD student, Stephanie Portelli, delivered an outstanding talk at the MM2019. Fascinating how she shows that models built in one organism can detect resistance in completely different organisms. Highlights how the underlying molecular forces driving resistance are conserved from virus to cancer. Well done, Steph!
