Louise-Kristine Nielsen was awarded the prestigious Sir James Black Award for setting up workflows for analysing archival fixed clinical human tissue samples from the gut by mass-spectrometry during her Honours’ project in Esther Sammler’s lab in the MRC PPU. Additionally, she was recognized with prices for graduating as the best A-grade Honours student in both Biomedical and Neurosciences. The photo shows Louise-Kristine on the day of her graduation and prize giving ceremony in front of the portrait of Sir James Black in the James Black Centre at the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee. Sir James Black was a Scottish physician scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988 for the development of principles which led to his invention of two major drugs, propranolol, a beta-blocker used for the treatment of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and heart failure, and cimetidine, used in the treatment of stomach ulcers. We wish Louise-Kristine well in her future career aspirations!
