Oday Salim PhD

PhD student - Graduated Jan 2012. Oday investigated the fine structure of striated muscle M-band using electron microscopy and electron tomography.  Successfully defended his thesis on 5 Dec 2011.  Congratulations, Oday!

 

 

 

Thomas Burgoyne BSc PhD

PhD Student - Graduated March 2010.  For his PhD, Tom used electron tomography to investigate the I-band in striated muscle in order to find the mechanism of the transformation of the square lattice at the Z-line to hexagonal in the A-band. 

Following his PhD, Tom worked at the Brompton Hospital investigating the ultrastructure of airway cilia in patients with PCD (primary ciliary dyskinesia).  In May 2011 he took up a post as PostDoc at UCL in the lab of Dr Clare Futter
