Many congratulations to Dr Poy Pholcharee! Poy had his D. Phil. viva today, examined by Chetan Chitnis, Andrew Ward and Thomas Bowden. Funded through the Scripps-Oxford program, he made important discoveries about liver stage malaria vaccines at Scripps, with Ian Wilson, and how Plasmodium vivax invades human reticulocytes in Oxford.
After a successful D. Phil., he will now move to the US to continue using structural biology methods as a postdoctoral scientist to understand how antibodies can prevent infectious disease.
