Fabrizio Villa, a joint PhD student between the labs of Daan van Aalten and Dario Alessi, successfully completed and defended his PhD thesis entitled 'Structural studies of the PTPL1 tyrosine phosphatase and OSR1'.

Following an excellent seminar about his PhD research project Fabrizio was thoroughly grilled by his examiners, Martin Noble and Steve Keyse, and by all accounts did very well. After a brief and well deserved summer vacation Fabrizio is going to return to his home city of Milan to undertake postdoctoral work in the group of Dr. Andrea Musacchio, Department of Experimental Oncology at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, to work on signalling pathways that regulate the cell cycle. We wish him all the best.
