Ghita joined PriME five years ago to pursue her PhD in the Hwa’s lab. Her project focused on characterizing the mechanisms that lead to chitin degradation combining quantitative microbiology experiments with mathematical modeling.
She recently successfully defended her thesis on “Life in structured
environments: colonization, growth and dispersal of bacterial populations”concluding her journey in PriME.
Thank you, Ghita, for the enthusiasm and engagement you brought into the collaboration throughout all these years. Goodbye for now and all the best for your next step!
