Ciro Rivera-Casas (Chromevol’s former Ph.D. student at the University of A Coruna) has been awarded the University’s special prize for his Ph.D. dissertation focused on the characterization of chromatin and histone variants in marine invertebrates. But the celebration is double, as Ciro has been also awarded a 2 year postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Ramon Areces Foundation to join Chromevol at FIU. Congratulations sir!!
