Jin Rui (Amos) Liang has opened his laboratory in the Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC PPU). Amos intends to identify and characterise other novel factors that regulate ERphagy. He will also explore the physiological roles of ERphagy and investigate how ERphagy is disrupted in diseases such as cancer.
All roads lead west for a University of Dundee scientist who is using pedal power to fund research into Parkinson’s disease.
Dr Mathieu Soetens, a Postdoctoral Researcher at Dundee’s Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit, will be in the saddle for a fortnight as he attempts to ride to one of Scotland’s most westerly points.
From Friday 3 June, he will be pedalling hundreds of miles – as well as hopping on the odd boat – to complete his journey to St Kilda, which he is embarking upon in aid of the Dundee Parkinson’s Research Campaign.
The EMBO Workshop entitled “Reversible phosphorylation, signal integration and drug discovery” concluded last week in Vouliagmeni, near Athens, Greece with a special lecture to mark the seminal contributions made by Tricia Cohen to the field of Protein Phosphatases. The lecture, sponsored by the International Union of Biochemistry (IUBMB), was given by Alexandra Newton of the University of California at San Diego and entitled “Protein kinase C emerging from quarantine: Phosphate as a safety switch”.
Recent research from David Murray and Hannes Maib has uncovered key mechanistic insights into the delivery of proteins in cells. This work has been published in Current Biology.

EMBL invites researchers, entrepreneurs, investors as well as members of its own community – including alumni and staff – to Dundee, the City of Discovery, for EMBL in the UK 2022. This year, hear how research discoveries can effectively be translated into impact. What lessons can we learn from previous ventures in order to maximise future collaborations?
