first day

OK so I started my new position today as a postdoc at the Medical Research Centre (MRC) Centre for Virus Research (CVR) in Glasgow, Scotland. This is a position in the lab of Dr John McLauchlan who works on Hepatitis C virus. I have moved here following my Ph.D in Queen's University, Belfast. The project sounds very interesting as does the lab and associated staff and students. I got sorted out with HR and am now trying to get to grips with the reading around the subject and will be getting into the lab this week. Hopefully I will be able to discuss more about the project, hepatitis C and postdoctoral life in this blog. Keep an eye out for more updates as time goes by!
