Xavier Reid graduated today with his BSc with first class Honours – and you can see him here accompanied by his co-supervisor, Dr Jason Low. No one will mention that Jason isn’t wearing his UNSW gown… Xavier has taken the plunge to come back and start a PhD – splitting his time between digging deep into NuRD complex biochemistry and designing new high-affinity, high-specificity regulators of gene expression, using the new RaPID screening technology that has landed at USyd with the arrival of Dr Toby Passioura.
