Well done to @TAPAS_ITN and @ICVS_UoB student, Dr Xueqing Wang (centre) who passed her PhD viva on 3rd March! The title of her thesis was "Characterisation of platelet membrane receptors in their native environment using SMALP nanodiscs".
Xueqing is pictured here with her supervisors Dr @mgtomlinson1 (far left), and Professor @Steve_Watson89 (far right). Her examiners were Dr Alice Rothnie, Aston University and Dr Jesús R. Requena, University of Santiago de Compostela.
Congratulations Xueqing!

25 years of UK Platelet Group Meetings. My first one was 18y ago 😱 and I feel so privileged to be part of such a wonderful group of people. The number of us that have attended as PhD students, postdocs and now PI's is a testament to our supportive field
Congratulations to our postdoc, @JoshuaHBourne, for being the joint winner of the oral presentation at the @plateletsociety conference! #Platelets #ECR #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
