Europhosphatases 2009
Hotel Zuiderduin, Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands
Europhosphatases 2009 is an EMBO conference, the second in a series of three. The focus of this conference is on protein phosphatases in development and disease. The major aim is to bring phosphatase researchers and those interested in phosphatase biology together. This conference will provide an excellent platform to learn more about phosphatase, to present and discuss your work on phosphatase and to set up and extend collaborations.

3rd European Summer School in Proteomics Basics - NPC will sponsor two fellowships
The 3rd European Summer School in Proteomic Basics - "Quantification and Post-translational Modifications of Proteins“ takes place from 02.08. - 08.08.2009 at Kloster Neustift (Brixen/Bressanone, South Tyrol, Italy). The summer school is designed to provide an insight into the state-of-the-art protein analytic techniques in quantification of proteins and the detection of their post-translational modifications for graduate students and young post doctoral workers. The NPC will sponsor two fellowships for participants of the NPC programme. You can appply for the course with this form. For more information about the course go to www.proteomic-basics.eu. In case you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the NPC/Martje Ebberink at ebberink@npc.genomics.nl.

Top publication
NPC researchers from the University of Groningen, headed by Dr. Liesbeth Veenhoff and Prof. Bert Poolman, have discovered a new biological mechanism, which ensures that new proteins are created exactly where they are needed in a cell. The reseach was conducted using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakes's yeast). The mechanism takes effect when cells divide, a process that is asymmetrical in yeast. The research will be published in Nature Cell Biology.
