Dundee reunion in Barcelona
On September 6 2011, MRC-PPU Director, Philip Cohen, gave the opening keynote lecture of the Spanish Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (SEBBM), which was sponsored by The Fundacion Ramon Areces Foundation, which was held in Barcelona. Philip was also made an Honorary Member of SEBBM and presented with its Gold Medal on 8 September.
Many scientists from Spain, who have received their Postdoctoral training in the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, are now Principal Investigators in Spain running their own research groups. The pictures below show Philip with four such Spanish scientists who attended the meeting, and the start of his lecture - which was attended by Spanish Minister of Science, Cristina Garmendia Mendizábal, who was originally trained as a Molecular Biologist - entitled 'The interplay between protein phosphorylation and protein ubiquitylation in regulating the innate immune system'.
