We have advertised two post-doc positions for proteomics experts within our Wellcome Investigator Award. Please find the positions advertised here:

https://jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastle-Research-AssistantAssociate-in-Proteomics/622244601/

We welcome two new PhD students to the team!

Leonie is a GSK-funded EPSRC student within the MosMed CDT and will work on high-throughput MALDI TOF mass spectrometry in drug discovery.

Atakan is a Marie-Curie Student within the “MagicBullet-reloaded” ITN and will develop mass spectrometry methods to understand study uptake of drug-peptide conjugates in cancer.

Nicholas Adzibolosu received a distinction for his MSc thesis performed in our lab and the overall MSc course. Well done and well deserved, Nicholas!

Congratulations to Tiaan, Fred and the others for their paper in Journal of Proteomics.

Targeted proteomic analysis reveals enrichment of atypical ubiquitin chains in contractile murine tissue

New collaborative paper out with Tracy Palmer group in PNAS:

A membrane-depolarizing toxin substrate of the Staphylococcus aureus type VII secretion system mediates intraspecies competition

We just submitted a new paper preprint:

Targeted Proteomic Analysis Reveals Enrichment of Atypical Ubiquitin Chains in Contractile Tissues

great work by Tiaan and Fred and many others in the lab.

Our latest addition to the lab is Francesca Cianfanelli who is a Fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF).

She will study innate immune responses to Salmonella infection.

Welcome!

Exciting new paper by Olivier Govaere and Anetta Härtlova:

Macrophage Scavenger Receptor 1 mediates lipid-induced inflammation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.01.930115v1

check it out!

Both our applications for Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowships by the EU have been funded!

Maria Dueñas will work with Boehringer Ingelheim on further developing high-throughput MALDI TOF mass spectrometry approaches.

Francesca Cianfanelli will characterise why Salmonella can survive within some immune cell populations better than in others.

Congratulations to both of them!

PhD Studentship available! Together with GSK within the EPSRC CDT MosMed. “Developing Drug Discovery Assays for Primary Human Immune Cells by High-Throughput MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry”
