In September 2025, our current Part II Pathology student Olivia Mei undertook a summer research project in the Toh Laboratory at the University of Liverpool, supported by a British Society for Haemostasis and Thrombosis (BSHT) Summer Studentship. The project, titled “Characterisation of microclots, defined as amyloid fibrin(ogen), in sepsis models”, focused on investigating pathological clot structures implicated in sepsis, an area of growing interest within haemostasis and t

Francisco accepting the award from Professor Frank Jiggins, Deputy Head of Department for Research We're delighted that our postdoc Francisco Berkemeier won the prize for best postdoc poster at the annual Research in Genetics departmental symposium. Francisco's poster highlighted his recent work on the theory and mathematical modelling of whole-genome replication in human cells. Some of this work was recently published in Nature Communications , but he also featured new and

XiangRu and external examiner Dr Mary-Kay Thompson from the University of Oxford. We are very proud of our MPhil student XiangRu Huang who successfully defended her MPhil thesis on the replication timing of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum . During her time with us, XiangRu worked closely with Professor Catherine Merrick's lab (also located in the Cambridge Department of Pathology) and made huge contributions to the malaria side of our research.
