Congratulations to Lauren (Lerew) Walton on successfully defending her thesis, "Mechanistic Principles of Protein and Nucleic Acid Enzymes Revealed Through Computational Enzymology"!

Her research on reaction mechanisms of self alkylating ribozymes deepens our understanding of catalytic capabilities of RNA providing support for the RNA world hypothesis.

York Lab proudly to celebrates this important milestone and looks forward to seeing all that she accomplishes next.

Congratulations, Dr. Lauren Walton!
