Finally completed the last step of my PhD! Big thanks to everyone who helped made this a success and taught me so much during my time in Edinburgh! Also super grateful to @NathanJWu and the rest of the group for being such great celebration coordinators :)
Congratulations to my @PrecisionMedPhD student (now postdoc) @matt_aqui who passed his viva today with minor corrections! Many thanks to @arunrichardc & @Dmichiel1 for examining. It was a pleasure to supervise Matthew and he has done excellent work.
