In mid March Prof. I. Turel was invited to act as external reviewer of Ph.D. thesis and Viva Voce examiner at Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). In this thesis D. Keogan has studied metallohydroxamates as novel anti-bacterial and anti-leishmanial agents under supervision of Dr. D. Griffith (Department of Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Chemistry).
It was a very nice experience and also a possibility to compare Ph.D. procedures at various institutions. Prof. Turel has up to now acted as external reviewer at academic institutions in Slovenia and abroad: Spain (University of Granada); Serbia (University of Belgrade); Italy (University of Cagliari) and Canada (University of British Columbia, Vancouver).
