On May 13, 2005, Anand Datta
successfully completed the oral defense of his doctoral thesis in the
UCSD Molecular Pathology PhD training program entitled: "The
Genetic Basis of Streptolysin S (Beta-Hemolysin) Production in Group A Streptococcus and its Role as
Virulence Factor in Invasive Infection". Here are photos from the
celebration immediately afterwards, which included a stirring rendition
of "The Datta Rock" performed by Laura
"The King" Kwinn and the Datta-ettes, free-flowing champagne and a
buffet of Indian delights. Anand's next stop after San Diego is
the Residency Training Program of the Department
of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at University of Tennessee
Health Sciences Center in Memphis.
