Congratulations to CHIRI PhD student Malini Visweswaran (School of Biomedical Sciences), who has received outstanding academic achievement for her PhD thesis examination.  Malini’s PhD thesis has been awarded an A grade distinction and supported for the Chancellor’s commendation from both her thesis examiners.

Malini is a stem cell and cancer researcher who joined the School of Biomedical Sciences and CHIRI in 2013 for her PhD under the primary supervision of Professor Arun Dharmarajan, co-supervised by Professor Philip Newsholme and Associate Professor Rodney Dilley.  Her PhD was on “Implications of the Wnt signalling pathway for adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a breast tumour environment”.

 Malini has been recognised by her colleagues and staff as being very hard working and helpful, and who is highly motivated to achieve great outcomes.  Malini has had an excellent academic track record throughout her career as she was the First rank holder for her post-graduation in Stem Cell Technology and Tissue engineering and the recipient of a Gold medal and Second rank for her post-graduation in Applied Microbiology from the University of Madras, India.

Please congratulate Malini, wish her good luck for the future.
