Three Minute Thesis success for Centre PhD student Anna Sanchez Avila
August 2021: Congratulations to our PhD student Anna Sanchez Avila, who won the University of Dundee 'Three Minute Thesis' competition, and progressed to the semi-finals of the UK-wide competition.
The Vitae 3MT® contest challenges PhD students to deliver a compelling presentation on their research topic to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes. It was first developed by the University of Queensland in 2008, but quickly spread across the world.
Anna Sanchez Avila is a second-year Euan MacDonald Centre-funded PhD student in Dr Chris Henstridge's lab at the University of Dundee.
She won the University of Dundee competition and was a semi-finalist in the UK-wide competition with a presentation on her PhD research into MND entitled "Synapses and ALS: a tale of stars". Very well done Anna!
