Dermot Mallon, PhD student in the Department and now in London training as a radiologist, won one of two prestigious SARS prizes awarded to members of the Department presenting papers at the annual SARS conference in January 2016 at the Royal College of Surgeons. Dermot was awarded the Burnand Prize for his presentation entitled: ‘HLA-specific alloantibody development can be predicted using a novel computational scoring system that quantifies 3-dimentional electrostatic potantial differences between donor and recipient HLA molecules’.
Mazin Hamed, PhD student and trainee surgeon in the Department, presented the top prize winning paper out of 19 presentations in the RSM Future Projects session at SARS, entitled: ‘Evaluation of a novel mitochondria-targeted anti-oxidant therapy for ischaemia reperfusion injury in a model of kidney transplantation’. Congratulations to both!
