Leigh Chambers recently re-visited The Advaith Foundation at The Samhita Academy in South Bengaluru to conduct a follow-up workshop with 45 children aged 11-14, entitled Anatomy Explorers. The program aimed to introduce creative approaches to science education and worked closely with teachers and program leaders to develop mutual understanding of the advantages of an arts based learning approach.

Congratulations to Jin Ju Lee on her successful application to the Wellcome Trust Biomedical Vacation Scholarship scheme. In collaboration with Mark Griffiths and Vania Braga, Jin Ju will be using a novel software programme ‘junction mapper’ to look at cell:cell adhesion in lung epithelial cells. We look forward to Jin Ju joining the group in July. Welcome back to Jin Ju!

We look forward to welcoming Ambreen to the Dean lab in July.
