Congratulations to Muhammad Ali Babar, in Year 13, for achieving his Gold Crest Award for the project "Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 innate immune evasion". This is an amazing achievement, with over 70 hours of project work at degree level standard. He received this prestigious award at the STEMPOINT Research Celebration event. 

"I particularly enjoyed delivering my presentation about my research placement at Queen Mary University of London, where I discussed my investigation. It was a lovely opportunity to share what I had learnt with the audience, and I was pleasantly surprised by how confident and comfortable I felt speaking on stage."
