Andrea's collaborative effort with Dr John Parkinson was rewarded with a £1.1 M BBSRC grant received by the University to establish a state-of-the-art UK national facility for studying biomedicines and biomaterials aimed at aiding the invention of new medicines. The NMR-BASE (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance for Biomolecule Analysis in Supported Environments) project is led by Strathclyde’s Dr John Parkinson and Dr Andrea Taladriz-Sender. Massive congratulations to Andrea on this who is Co-Investigator on the grant proposal. The whole Burley group (minus me - gutted) heads to Craggan for the yearly team building highland trip!
