Congratulations to Brenda Sanchez for passing her PhD viva on the hottest day of the year!

Brenda's thesis was titled 'Novel Models of Tendinopathy on a Chip' with Brenda undertaking some exciting work to better understand the drivers of tendon injury and build a first organ-chip model to explore how different tendon cell populations are involved in disease.

She was supervised by Prof Hazel Screen and Prof Martin Knight.

The examiners for her viva were Prof Mandy Peffers from the University of Liverpool and Queen Mary's Prof Karin Hing.
