Clement (along with syn bio lab heads Dr Yu Heng Lau and Dr Constance Bailey) coached a team of undergraduate students – of mixed year and mixed degree major – for this year’s iGEM competition, which they got to present in Paris at the big jamboree. They were incredibly successful – winning third place overall and the best therapeutic project prize. So, third out of 438 teams from all over the world – that’s a big win! Super congratulations!
Clement also took time to visit Karishma in Oxford, reporting that she was going well and that her magic crystallography fingers were still operational in the northern hemisphere, having crystallized a protein while it was in the concentrator!
