Alexander Foo, Ph.D., from the Atomic Magnetic Resonance Group, and also Yosuke Sakamachi, Ph.D., coming from the Matrix The field of biology Team, also won last year.Foo, left behind, mentored through Geoff Mueller, Ph.D., succeeded with his abstract, "Vicilin Buried Peptides (VBPs) Mediate Cross-Reactivity Between Evolutionary-Distant Species."
