We are delighted that our newest PI recruit, Yogesh Kulathu, will starting his independent laboratory within the MRC-PPU today, February 1st 2013. Until now Yogesh has been undertaking tremendous postdoctoral research in David Komander's lab at the LMB deciphering how new ubiquitin binding domains interact with ubiquitin chains and investigating regulation and structure of various deubiquitinylases.
Yogesh's new laboratory will be focused on uncovering the biology and mechanism of atypical ubiquitin chains. Yogesh is also an experienced structural biologist and we will be creating a new crystallisation suite and associated robotics to automatically set up crystallisation trays within the MRC-PPU space to enable Yogesh and Daan van Aalten, as well as other PIs in our Unit, to readily crystallise the proteins they are working on.
More details on Yogesh's research plans will be uploaded to the research pages of the MRC-PPU shortly. Yogesh will also be advertising for PhD and Postdoc positions soon but any potentially interested candidates are free to informally discuss these positions with Yogesh. Please email Yogesh - y.kulathu@dundee.ac.uk - if you are interested in applying for a position in his lab.
