Sonja Flott joined the Unit in October 2003, having been awarded a prestigious Medical Research Council (MRC) Predoctoral Fellowship. The Predoctoral Fellowship scheme is a £1 million initiative from the MRC launched in October 2000 introducing salaried stipends to outstanding students who wish to conduct PhD studies in MRC Units and Institutes. This is the third consecutive year that the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit has secured one of these fellowships, only 9 of which were awarded this year for the whole of the UK.
Sonja transferred to Dundee University from the University of Bochum in Germany in 2002 and worked in the laboratory of Neil Perkins in the Wellcome Trust Biocentre for her diploma thesis.
Sonja has now joined the laboratory of John Rouse in the MRC Unit to decipher the molecular mechanisms whereby the ATR protein kinase triggers the cellular response to DNA damage.
