Well done to Dr Mekhala Spencer who successfully defended her PhD on Thursday 7th December.

Mekhala's thesis is entitled "The development of Raman spectroscopy for monitoring industrial biopharmaceuticals". This was a BBSRC CASE award with Pall and Mekhala was co-supervised by Prof. Alan Dickson.

We are also very grateful to the examiners Dr Matt Baker and from Strathclyde and Dr Robin Curtis from Manchester.
