Huge congratulations Isadora!!!! 👏🎉
Thrilled to share I’ve passed my #PhD #viva in Medicine with minor corrections! 🎓

My thesis on Grb10 & brain growth marks a novel contribution to science — and I’ll soon be able to call myself #Dr! 🧬✨

I did this research on the @swbiodtp.bsky.social. Thanks to @profantisles.bsky.social!
