David Komander, ex-PhD student of Dario Alessi and Daan van Aalten (now working as a group leader at the LMB in Cambridge), and Sonja Flott, ex-PhD student of John Rouse (now working in Abcam in Cambridge) have had a new baby, Emma C. Komander.

Both Emma and Sonja are doing very well and David is 'a very happy daddy'.

Congratulations also to David for being awarded a recent Lister Research Prize for his work in dissecting the biological roles of new ubiquitylation pathways.
