New PhD in the Perk Lab: Dr. Helen Xu

Helen Xu has defended her PhD today, entitled "Target Localization in MRI-guided Prostate Biopsy". Helen gave an excellent presentation, handled the grilling admirably; and altogether passed with a high banner.

Dr. Sue Sue

Earlier today, our Paweena (Sue-Sue) U-Thainual has defended her PhD thesis entitled "MR image overlay: An augmented reality system for needle guidance". Sue Sue was poised and well prepared, and she had good humour. In short, she gave a terrific performance.

Well done and well deserved, Dr. Sue Sue!

The 2012 BMC Party

Dear All,

The annual BMC party was a blast, as always. This year we are grateful to Parvin and Keyvan for hosting the gang. Our graces were beautiful. (We, boys, were also above average, I suppose.) See more pictures here.

It was a great pleasure to have the team together - it always makes me a bit sentimental, though, he-he.

Let's do it again next year!

Until his formal retirement a few years ago, he was a member of the Nobel Prize Committee in medicine and physiology for 22 years and he also headed the committee.

End-of-the-year Perk Lab party
