Her poster, titled ‘Inner Nuclear Membrane Quality Control by Asi Complex’, won her the first prize which was also accompanied by a monetary reward. Nivedita is a DPhil student in Professor Pedro Carvalho’s research group, which investigates organelle biogenesis and homeostasis. Professor Carvalho – along with all of the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology – are proud to have such a talented student working with us.
“This poster prize is a great recognition of Nivedita’s hard work! She has made remarkable progress in understanding how cells recognize and eliminate membrane proteins mislocalized to the wrong cellular compartment, and this prize will certainly give her an extra kick to wrap up her thesis.” Professor Pedro Carvalho said.
In addition to her prize, the workshop provided Nivedita and other Dunn School attendees with a chance to network with other researchers working in the field of protein homeostasis, which included an international collection of well-known speakers.
