Prajwal Bhat, Bioinformatics research student, has won the top prize in the Bright Ideas 2010
competition run by WestFocus (a consortium of around 10
universities including RHUL). Praj's idea is for an eco-friendly and economically viable
enzymatic pre-treatment of the toxic effluent from paper
manufacturing, using bioengineered yeasts.
