A milestone and achievement by the Stratigrads

Gut Microbiome Research Using Molecular Biology and Multi-Omics Technologies is the title of postgraduate symposium organized by our STRATiGRAD cohorts – Fran and Nancy in collaboration with University College Cork (UCC) students.

Wednesday 24th Sep:

UCC guys arrived at Imperial College London (ICL) in the afternoon. Fran and Nancy took them around for mini-sightseeing of South Kensington Campus before attending welcome and introductory lectures by Prof Elaine Holmes and Dr Julian Marchesi. The first day was nice but it seemed like both UCC and ICL guys were a little bit shy to get to know each other – I may be wrong though lol.

Study, Food, Picture,…what else?

Hello…it has eventually come to my turn to write the weekly STRATiGRAD blog. To be honest, you will have to bear with me as I don’t blog but I will try my best!

I am Jutarop Phetcharaburanin, one of the first year STRATiGRAD students at the Department of Surgery and Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London. My PhD project focuses on the effect of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery on changes in gut microbiota and signalling molecules along with the impact of endotoxins on long-term cancer risks in post-bariatric surgery patients. I am considered “an absolute newcomer’ to the cutting-edge subject known as metabonimics over here.
