This is the last week of my PhD. After a successful viva, a chapter at @MRC_Prion is closing, but another one will soon start with @GenomicsEngland. I am very grateful to my supervisors @EmmanuelleVire and @smead2, as well as the examiners Ruslan Sadreyev and Pietro Fratta.

Mega congratulations to our PhD student @ThanosDim3 passing his viva without any corrections! We are so proud of you and wish you all the very best in your career! Here with his supervisors @EmmanuelleVire and @smead2

Many thanks to all the members of our genetics group, and special thanks to my supervisors @EmmanuelleVire and @smead2 who have been supportive of all my efforts for the last four years.

I'm happy to announce that our work on single-cell transcriptomics in prion diseases is now in pre-print! This is a result of the challenging but rewarding 3 years of my PhD at the @MRC_Prion and I hope will form the basis for future projects! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now online: our single nuclei transcriptomics study of prion disease. Longitudinally in mice. At end stage in human. A tour de force from @ThanosDim3 And Twitterless Fuquan Zhang. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

From an idea to a business value proposition and a successful pitch in 3 days! Many thanks to Warrick from @ScandStories for his excellent guidance and @UCLEnterprise for organizing the workshop and providing support.

Starting our journey into Entrepreneurship for PhD students! Day 1/3 and already very excited! @UCLEnterprise Amazing building too!

AI can apparently design better drugs for ALS than the world's scientists. @uclentrepreneur @lsesu @benevolent_ai
