CCS 3MT heat

Congratulations to Andrew Guy on his PhD completion! Andrew's thesis is titled, "Computational approaches for examining the impact of protein structure and dynamics on malaria immunity." Andrew's main supervisor was Dr Paul Ramsland (50%), and co-supervised by Prof James Beeson and Dr Jack Richards, all of the Burnet Institute.

Andrew has had a number of first author publications during his doctoral work:

• Structural patterns of selection and diversity for Plasmodium vivax antigens DBP and AMA1. (May 2018)
• Proteome-wide mapping of immune features onto Plasmodium protein three-dimensional structures. (March 2018)
• Insights into the Immunological Properties of Intrinsically Disordered Malaria Proteins Using Proteome Scale Predictions. (Oct 2015)

4 Aug 2015 3MT CCS heat is on: See our students compete! All welcome
