Didn't plan it, but 1st yr as an all-girl lab. Congrats to our intern Valentina Rodriguez Cortes (High Distinction) & our honours student Anastasia Karafotias (1st Class Honours). Good luck to both for their futures! A challenging but a good yr as we've researched #ovariancancer & #endometriosis. 🧪
