In August 2022, Arooj successfully defended her MSc work (cosupervised with Dr. Fiona Whelan of the University of Nottingham, UK) on the PmrAB systems of Shigella boydii and Shigella dysenteriae. Arooj had a challenging project, balancing both wet lab and bioinformatic analysis (and the demands of not only one, but two supervisors)! It was a pleasure seeing Arooj’s growth throughout the project and I look forward to seeing what she gets up to next!
