Great Job Ahmed. Hope you both had a productive day and enjoyed hearing about research from other north east PGR students.
Had a great time networking at #NEPG2025 with my PhD colleague Phoebe Snow! Proud to represent our LEGEND (Leukaemia EpiGenomic & ENhancer Dysregulation) group led by Dr Lisa Russell. @LJRussell_Lab Loved sharing my poster and connecting with passionate researchers! #phdlife
