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.

Our Primer on adhesion signalling complexes has been published in the current issue of Current Biology.

The article provides an accesible overview of the role of extracellular-matrix receptors and their associated protein complexes and signalling networks in the control of cell adhesion and migration. We focus on the molecular complexity of adhesion signalling complexes and mechanisms of their regulation, which impact on many aspects of cell behaviour in health and disease.

I am thrilled to have won the 2010 Young Investigator Award from the British Society for Matrix Biology (BSMB).

The BSMB is a learned society for scientists with an interest in the extracellular matrix and related subjects. I have been a member of the BSMB since I joined the lab of Professor Martin Humphries as a PhD student (I also designed the BSMB logo in 2006!), and it is an honour to be chosen for this prestigious award.

I will receive the award at the BSMB Autumn Meeting in Norwich on Monday (6 September 2010), where I will also be presenting the Young Investigator Award lecture.

I am pleased to have been selected to present a talk at the 7th Joint BSPR/EBI Proteomics Meeting in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK, 13th-15th July 2010. The conference is entitled “Proteomics: From Qualitative to Quantitative” and will focus on advances in qualitative and quantitative insights into biological processes using proteomics. I will present recent work on the analysis of integrin adhesion complex dynamics.

I am very grateful to have been awarded an MJ Dunn Fellowship to enable me to attend this meeting.

I am pleased to have been selected to present a short talk at the upcoming ProteoMMX meeting in Chester, UK, 19th-21st April. My “elevated abstract” presentation will describe my current work in the lab of Professor Martin Humphries (University of Manchester, UK) on the quantitative proteomic analysis of integrin adhesion complexes.

The meeting is entitled “Strictly Quantitative” and will cover all aspects of quantitative proteomics. It promises to be an interesting meeting, and the programme of invited speakers looks really good!
