We are very happy to congratulate Anna A.A. on successfully completing her internal PhD defense with the thesis entitled “Directly Reprogrammed Human Induced Neurons as an Age-Relevant Platform for Huntington’s Disease Modelling and Therapeutic Response Prediction.” A special thank you to László Hricisák from our institute, who served as Anna’s internal opponent, for his careful evaluation, valuable input, and excellent questions. With this important milestone completed, Anna can now move forward toward the final PhD defense, which is scheduled for early next year. Congratulations, Anna — one big step closer to the real deal!
