I still keep forgetting things due to my traumatic autumn, but I just read the posts from September when new students have started their projects and I promised to take pictures before they leave... guess what happened... I forgot... Anyway, we ended up to have 2 Saras for this semester, one from Italy as an ERASMUS student and one from Finland as a M.Sc. Pharmacy student. Both have finished now their projects relating to Janne's 3rd thesis publication about antioxidants and pancreas-brain axel (more about that in later posts) and I must admit that this whole project has been a rollercoaster itself! Even though both Sara's did a great job in the project, the results were not what we were expecting or our methods required fine-tuning. And that's what we are still doing, but I hope this and up-coming weeks will be successful and that we can soon wrap up this project soon, so Janne can start writing his Ph.D. thesis!
Our other local M.Sc. Pharmacy students, Mikko and Ville, have also finished their laboratory work and are currently writing their M.Sc. theses. Both gentlemen achieved great results in their projects, so in the best scenario, we will have 2 manuscript to be written soon! But sadly, at the same time it starts to be quiet in the lab... well, we still have 2 ERASMUS students working hard, and this is something that I have also forgot to mention earlier; Judith from Germany since November 2023 working first with metformin prodrugs and their bioanalysis and soon starting another project with extended visiting time, and Amal from Spain since January 2024, working on a new-old project of valproic acid prodrugs and their utilization as an anti-cancer agents. I also see here a good possibilities for 2 distinct manuscripts based on the results they have gained so far. So looking good, and busy times for me in writing in the future! 😎
