Third-year PhD scholar Paula Klavina travelled to the Radcliffe Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford to spend a week at Professor David Ray’s Laboratory.
She spent this time working with macrophages isolated from a mouse colony owned by the Ray lab. These mice are deficient in one of the genes that makes up the circadian clock machinery, making them a useful tool in studying circadian rhythm involvement in various physiological processes.
During her free time, Paula got to explore (a very rainy) Oxford together with one of the PhD students in the Ray lab who kindly showed her around.
