Congrats to Dr. Guanyou Lin for his research on DNA and RNA nanoparticles in the UW Department of Materials Science & Engineering. Dr. Lin conducted his PhD thesis research in the laboratory of Dr. Miqin Zhang whose nanoparticle research program spans a variety of uses including drug delivery, diagnostic imaging, and gene therapy. Dr. Lin's PhD resulted in 15 papers! It was a privilege to serve on Dr. Lin's thesis committee and to watch his tremendous research productivity (even when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived mid-PhD!). Congratulations to Dr. Lin!

It's official! Congratulations to Dr. Felicia Watson who graduated today with her PhD in Pathobiology at UW. Felicia's thesis was entitled "Preclinical optimization of a prime-and-trap malaria vaccine". Felicia's malaria vaccine research resulted in two published first authors papers (PMID: 36671393 and
35226868) plus a third groundbreaking study that is currently under review. Today Dr. Watson also gave the student speech on behalf of the Pathobiology PhD graduates (bottom photo) where she highlighted the advantages of UW's Pathobiology Program and the exciting prospects for today's graduating class. We in the malaria field are lucky that Felicia joined our community and are grateful for her commitment to global health! Congrats Dr. Watson! Congratulations to Shruthi Shankar Raman who defended her Masters in Laboratory Medicine today at UW South Lake Union. For her Masters research, Shruthi refined a flow cytometry-based surrogate marker assay for T cell activation in peripheral blood. This assay can now be used in the laboratory for serial sampling to monitor immune responses over time in rodent models of malaria. The Masters in Laboratory Medicine is supported by the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (link).
