Congratulations to Ella on successfully defending her MS thesis today! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿพย  We are so proud of all the work she did over the past 3+ years as an undergraduate student and then a graduate student! She accomplished a lot in the lab from PCR mutagenesis and cloning to virus competition assays in primary CD4+ T cells.

We will miss her terribly when she finishes up her experiments, but we wish her the best of luck in the future. She's a great scientist! Be sure to watch out for her manuscript and a few co-authored papers!
