Honours students 2017-2018
Lauren Dolan, Stephen Jesmont and Samantha Kerrigan (all Applied Biomedical Science)
Worked on projects to compare gene expression levels of candidate genes in a range of tissues derived from SMA and control mice at different time points.
​
Stephen was awarded the Ian Packer Memorial Prize for best Honours project.
