Congratulations to Leicester PhD student Kathryn Pugh who won a poster prize at the RSC Organic Chemistry Midlands Section Meeting in Warwick.

This annual meeting of the RSC Organic Midlands section is always well represented by the department and this year was no exception. Dr Robert Britton gave a presentation on his current research on Affinity chromatography and LC-MS/MS: Identification of protein targets of resveratrol.

In addition to this, 15 postgraduate students from the organic and synthesis sections presented posters of their research. Kathryn, who works in the research group of Professor Paul Cullis, won a prize for her poster, titled An Integrated Chemical-biological Approach to Unravelling Malaria Cell Signalling Pathways.
