We are very pleased to announce that another student has successfully defended her thesis. Pam Lochhead, a student with Calum Sutherland who is affiliated to the Unit, presented a seminar entitled "The molecular mechanism by which insulin regulates hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase gene expression" on January 9th 2001 and was then examined by Dr. Harinder Hundal (University of Dundee) and Professor Jeremy Tavare (University of Bristol). Pam is now working as a postdoc at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow, Scotland.
