Congratulations Dr. Hoxhaj
Well done to Gerta Hoxhaj for her successful PhD viva, held on October 5th 2012 on her work on the E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2. (Hoxhaj is pronounced HOJ-EYE with a long O, and 'XH' in the Albanian alphabet sounds like 'J').
Gerta is Carol MacKintosh's 11th student to be awarded a PhD. Her examiners were Chris Proud of the University of Southampton and Hari Hundal of the College of Life Sciences, who reported that Gerta gave a lively performance and the exam was fun. Gerta's first paper on ZNRF2 was published recently (to read click here), and she plans to undertake postdoctoral research in the USA, after she completes her work on ZNRF2 and submits her latest paper on the regulatory roles of this enzyme.
