There is a new doctor in the house! Congratulations Dr. James Jeffryes!
James successfully defended his thesis entitled “Enumerating the Potential Metabolome through Simulation of Enzyme-catalyzed and Spontaneous Reactions.”
James has done a fantastic job championing open-source projects and good coding practices in the lab. (not to mention insightful tools that are already recognized as best-in-class for searching the unknown metabolome).
