Student Successes


Tricia Cohen is very pleased to announce that two of her students who started their research together have successfully defended their theses at virtually the same time. Mirela Delibegovic presented a seminar and thesis concerning "In vivo effects of insulin on the glycogen targeted forms of protein phosphatase 1" on April 25th 2003. Her viva examiners were Dr Dominic Withers (Imperial College, University of London) and Dr Hari Hundal (University of Dundee). Mirela is now a postdoctoral research assistant with Professor Ben Neel at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA.

Shonagh Munro presented a seminar and thesis entitled " Glycogen targeting subunits of protein phosphatase1 and their role in the action of insulin" on April 28th 2003 and was then examined by Professor Miles Houslay (University of Glasgow) and Professor Grahame Hardie (University of Dundee). She has chosen to further her studies in the area of insulin action by taking up a position as a postdoctoral research assistant with Tricia funded by Diabetes UK.
