First Prize for Iain Inverarity at 17th Regional Graduate Symposium
Iain Inverarity, a 3rd year PhD student jointly supervised by Alison Hulme, Department of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh and Philip Cohen in the Life Sciences Unit, University of Dundee, won first prize of £200 for the best lecture given at the 17th Regional Graduate Symposium organised by the Society of Chemistry and Industry on 5th April in the School of Life Sciences.
Iain has synthesised a number of derivatives of anisomycin that are still capable of activating stress-activated MAP kinases, and he has exploited this information to make further derivatives that can be coupled to insoluble supports. These probes can now be used to isolate the anisomycin receptor (s) responsible for triggering MAP kinase cascades.
