Virus Ecology and Evolution (VEE)
Today, the group was thrilled to see its first Master student, Lotte, successfully defend her thesis! From her time as an undergrad student to her Master’s work, Lotte has worked hard developing methods to study the viral factory of Nucleocytoviricota. Her hard work has paid of and she now finishes her master with two works (currently) available! This moment constituted a milestone for the group and of course a proud PI moment.
Congratulations Lotte!
