Golden Pipette won by Dr Carly Whyte

Congratulations to Dr Carly Whyte, for winning the Golden Pipette!

Carly won the Golden Pipette for her mind-boggling data on how the cellular source of IL-2 profoundly alters the impact of this key cytokine on the cells around it. Data to be published, as soon as we understand it!

Carly will be moving over to the Babraham in January. Will the Golden Pipette be won back by team Leuven in time? Or will Cambridge take ownership of this proud trophy?  

A new era for the Golden Pipette

Another lab retreat, and the Golden Pipette has found a new home. Dr Emanuela Pasciuto passed the batton on to Dr Carlos Roca, for the development of a revolutionary new software package for automated analysis of flow cytometry data. A first for the Golden Pipette, won for bioinformatics, and a first for Dr Roca, having never held a pipette before.

The 2018 Golden Pipette Award

Lab retreat 2018: the baton is being passed on, as Dr Oliver Burton, 2017 winner of the Golden Pipette, presents the trophy to Dr Emanuela Pasciuto. Our prestigious prize for the best experiment was awarded for the generation of a transgenic mouse to study brain Tregs.

And the winner is...

From our lab retreat last week, the winner of the Golden Pipette Award is... Dr Oliver Burton!

Look at the separation between Foxp3 and IL-2 - it takes golden hands to get such results when working with a cytokine and a transcription factor, let alone when running them as part of a 24 colour panel!
