PhD student Aleisha Symon heads to Massachusetts

Second-year Hudson Institute PhD student Aleisha Symon will head to the US in June to undertake an intensive course in embryology in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Aleisha is currently researching her PhD in gonadal development in Professor Vincent Harley’s lab in the Centre for Reproductive Health.

She will join 24 students from all over the world for the six-week course, titled Embryology: Concepts and Techniques in Modern Developmental Biology, at the Marine Biological Laboratory.

The course is open to all advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and senior researchers who seek a broad and balanced view of the modern issues of developmental biology.

Aleisha says the course will enable her to broaden her knowledge whilst forming international bonds with fellow students and researchers.

“The course will facilitate my studies by allowing me to learn and practice many different practical techniques, broadening my knowledge of organ development and allowing me to form many international friendships and connections,” Aleisha said.

Woods Hole is a village of around 800 people located on the far southwest corner of Cape Cod, and home to several major scientific institutions.
