His examiners were Dr Pawel Grzechnik (University of Manchester), an expert in the mechanisms regulating RNA Polymerase II and co-transcriptional RNA processing, and Professor Sam Wilson (University of Cambridge), who is an expert in pathogen sensing and interferon signalling.
Many congratulations to Max, his supervisors and his colleagues.
