Megan Gant defended today successfully her thesis.

Congratulations to this achievement. It is a pity this could not be celebrated in person.

Many thanks to Judith Hall and Tony Ly for examining Megan.

A warm welcome to Hannah Knaudt from Germany who joins us for a ERASMUS+ traineeship in the lab.

Hannah will learn about proteomics in immune cells.

Researchers at the MRC PPU have written up a Nature Protocol of our original MALDI TOF DUB assay. the paper can be found here:

Just hot of the press:

“c-Rel orchestrates energy-dependent epithelial and macrophage reprogramming in fibrosis” published in Nature Metabolism.

Congratulations Sandra!

 

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.
