I will be in Dublin, Ireland, for the upcoming EMBO Cancer Proteomics meeting (20th-23rd June). I am pleased to have been selected to present a talk at the conference. My presentation will describe my current work in the lab of Professor Martin Humphries (University of Manchester, UK) on the proteomic analysis of integrin adhesion signalling in cancer cells, with a focus on the integrative analysis of these complex data.

The meeting, entitled “Systems Biology, Developmental Models & Data Integration,” is the second event in the EMBO Conference Series on Cancer Proteomics. The focus of the 2011 meeting is on using proteomic approaches to delineate mechanisms of cancer biology. It promises to be a very interesting meeting, and the programme looks really good!

My article on the architecture of integrin adhesion sites has been published in this week’s issue of Science Signaling. This Focus Issue of Science Signaling highlights processes in cell signalling that enable cells to move efficiently and appropriately.

My Presentation on the proteomic analysis of integrin complexes has been published in this week’s issue of Science Signaling. There is an accompanying slideshow of the presentation.

I presented the talk at the 6th British Society for Proteome Research (BSPR)–European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) Meeting, entitled “Multiscale Proteomics: From Cells to Organisms,” in Cambridge, UK. I was thrilled to be awarded the 2009 BSPR Early Stage Investigator Award at the conference.
