We’re delighted that Dr Tim Bell has successfully passed his PhD viva! An incredible milestone that reflects years of perseverance and hard work.
Tim worked on developing peptide-based tools to understand the chemokine network using high throughput peptide screening and biophysical methods, as part of his PhD funded by the BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. Tim’s highly interdisciplinary project benefited from several collaborations, including learning cell-based assays with Prof. Shoumo Bhattacharya (University of Oxford), crystallography with Prof Ehmke Pohl (Durham University) and bioinformatics with Dr Simon Cockell (Newcastle University).
A heartfelt thank you to Tim’s examiners, Prof Simi Ali (Newcastle University) and Dr Michael Plevin (University of York), for their time and expertise during the examination.
Congratulations, Tim, on this incredible achievement!
