Hafna recently attended the 19th International Symposium on Flavins and Flavoproteins held in Groningen in the Netherlands. This is the largest and most specialised conference held in the field of flavin research and has been held triennially for the last 60 years. Hafna presented the work she did during her PhD on F420 binding proteins among the flavin/deazaflavin dependent oxidoreductases, and was presented with the Vince Massey Award for young investigators who have shown an outstanding contribution to the field of flavins and flavoenzymes. Top work Hafna!!
