As more and more machines are arriving, we are getting closer to being a functioning lab. We are getting ready to receive a big box full of strains from my Edinburgh postdoc and getting more and more excited to soon be doing research again 🙂
Also, there's news on the recruitment side. We have been in conversation with a promising candidate interested in doing a PhD in Winz lab, and he has accepted our offer. Looking forward 😀 to working with him, starting February (?) 2021! We will post more information once this is official... Stay tuned!
