NPL Prize for Best Poster
There was a prize for the Best Poster, sponsored and judged by the UK National Physical Laboratory. The judges were so impressed with the posters that they couldn't pick a single winner, and the prize was jointly awarded to Dr Mireia Crispin of the High-Energy Physics group and Alexander Ohmann of the Biological and Soft Systems group.
Dr Mireia Crispin with Dr Richard Burguete of NPL, and Mireia's winning poster Large scale image analysis: from the LHC to personalized cancer treatment
Alexander Ohmann with Dr John Molloy of NPL, and Alex's winning poster Outperforming nature: synthetic enzyme built from DNA flips lipids of biological membranes at record rates
