Double PhD Viva Success
Published: 23 May 2019
We are thrilled to announce the success of two of Hanns’s UK students. Grace McMacken and Rachel Thompson defended their PhD work this week and will be awarded PhDs from Newcastle University following submission of minor corrections. Both have attained their PhDs by published work, Grace on “Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes and the Therapeutic Modulation of the Neuromuscular Junction” and Rachel on “Data sharing and integration for omics research in neuromuscular and rare diseases”. You can read some of those publications for Grace here and Rachel here.
