Congrats to Alvaro Mongui Cruz who passed his PhD defense today!!
Mongui will receive his PhD from the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of the Andes, and I was the external reviewer on his committee. Alvaro also conducted a considerable amount of his research at Corpogem and will continue on there with his work to identify new methods for detecting novel bioactivities from metagenomic libraries.
Thanks to all of the wonderful people I met during my short stay in Bogota…sorry my Spanish was so terrible!
