We are delighted to announce that Ruixian has successfully defended her MPhil thesis titled ‘Unveiling Virus-Host Interactions in the Dynamic Marine Ecosystem of the Pearl River Estuary.’ Her research involved a comprehensive metagenomic analysis of samples, examining prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses. Ruixian also made significant strides in predicting virus-host interactions based on genetic data. We eagerly anticipate the publication of her findings in a peer-reviewed journal. Ruixian’s academic journey doesn’t end here – she will be continuing her studies as a PhD student in the Yung Lab. We have every confidence in her ability to make further valuable contributions to the field of marine microbiology.
Congratulations, Ruixian, on this impressive achievement. We look forward to witnessing your continued growth and success in your doctoral studies!
