Veronica Llorens received the PhD Extraordinary Award from the UPF

Veronica Llorens, one of the MycoSynVac researchers, defended her thesis entitled “Integrative understanding of transcription in a minimal cell model” on September 2016.  Her thesis was supervised by the 2 project coordinators, Luis Serrano and Maria Lluch-Senar from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG).

In her thesis, Veronica uses Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a model system to study the role of all the elements regulating transcription and to which extent each of them contributes to the observed RNA levels in the experiments.

Congrats Veronica, we are proud you contributed to MycoSynVac project!!
