Always a big milestone in the PhD journey, Jessica Zhong has clicked the upload button (which isn’t quite the same as the old days with the endless photocopying and page juggling, but still…) and submitted her thesis (and now is an expert on definite articles), which was focused on the biochemical analysis of CHD4 – the chromatin remodelling component of the NuRD complex. Her project landed her a Nature Commun paper so far, and with the experiments she’s about to finish off, hopefully another good paper too. And it would be remiss of me to not mention that the project has been a fantastic collaboration with Antoine van Oijen and Bishnu Paudel at University of Wollongong – big shout-out to them for their single-molecule FRET expertise. Well done Jessica!
