Alex Duncan (Molecular Biology PhD 1984) completed his PhD in 37 months, but waited 36 years to graduate from the University of Cambridge.
Alex began his PhD in October 1984 and completed it before the end of 1987, under the supervision of Dr Gregory Winter (later Sir). Alex was in a hurry to get on and left for a post-doctoral position before congregation came round and then became too busy with his career in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, and as a father of four, to collect his degree certificate, much to the frustration of his proud mother, Frances.
It has been problematic at times, not least when changing jobs, and on Friday 21 July 2023 Alex finally walked through the Gate of Honour at Gonville & Caius College to receive his degree from the University of Cambridge at Senate House.
