Dr Andrew Jamieson has been awarded a Nuffield Foundation Undergraduate Research Bursary. The purpose of the awards is to give experience of research to undergraduates with research potential and to encourage them to consider a career in scientific research. The grant will be used to pay Leicester 3rd year undergraduate Kyle Toyne to work in Dr Jamieson’s laboratory over the summer on a research project titled ‘Trapping G-tract RNA With a Biomimetic Nano-Cage: A New Molecular Probe to Investigate the Role of G-Tract Oligonucleotides in Splicing’.
