MRC PPU programme leader, Yogesh Kulathu, has been elected into the EMBO Young Investigator Programme for three years, starting on 1 January 2016.

Every year, EMBO selects some of the best young scientists in Europe to join this prestigious programme through which they are provided a range of benefits and support to help them realise their potential as world class researchers.

'I am very pleased to be recognised for my work and and honoured to be selected into this program' said Yogesh. 'I look forward to interacting and collaborating with the vast network of Young Investigators – past and present.'

This year 23 young researchers have been elected as EMBO Young Investigators. Yogesh joins a network of 365 Young Investigators who represent some on the best young group leaders from all over Europe.

Yogesh's laboratory studies how ubiquitin signals are decoded and regulated to produce distinct cellular outcomes. Using a range of techniques, from structural and biochemical methods to genetic approaches in model organisms, they elucidate the regulation of ubiquitin signaling and how perturbations result in diseases.

Dario Alessi, Director of the MRC PPU was equally pleased by the election 'This is indeed a great recognition and speaks to the caliber of scientific research that Yogesh is undertaking in his lab.'
