Another fulfilling week for The Greensmith Lab (+ colleagues from other DNMD groups) hosting their annual Work Experience at UCL QSIoN. The Summer Students were able to get a taste of scientific life, with hands-on experience, learning key skills eg. pipetting, cell culture, immunostaining and more!

It's an honour to take on this responsibility from a great role model such as Linda Greensmith, during an era of groundbreaking research in neuromuscular diseases. I look forward to supporting the success of the department's exceptional PIs, early-/mid-career researchers, staff, and students.
