Dario Alessi and two PhD students from the Unit, Nimesh Mody and Gopal Sapkota, recently attended the FASEB meeting on protein kinases held in Snowmass, Colorado. Dario was presenting a seminar at the meeting, whilst Nimesh and Gopal presented posters and attempted to identify potential postdoc supervisors after they finish their studies in the Unit.

Part of the attraction of attending this meeting is the opportunity it affords delegates to explore the spectacular scenery of the area. Our intrepid lab members overcame any reservations they may have had and took the plunge (literally) by embarking on a white water rafting trip down a section of the Colorado river near Aspen on the 16th August. As can be seen from the picture, a thoroughly exciting time was enjoyed by them all.
