I will be attending the 4th European Proteomics Association (EuPA) Meeting in Estoril, Portugal, 23th-27th October 2010. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the 6th Portuguese Proteomics Network (ProCura) Meeting. The conference is entitled “2010: A Proteomics Odyssey Towards Next Decades” and will focus on current trends and developments in proteomic technologies. I will present a poster on my recent work on the analysis of integrin adhesion complex dynamics.

I am very grateful to have been awarded a EuPA Fellowship to enable me to attend this meeting.

Four of my images have been shortlisted for the European Proteomics Association (EuPA2010 Photography and Graphic Arts Contest. The images attempt to illustrate the complexity of cell signalling, and they represent different aspects of my work on the proteomic analysis of integrin adhesion complexes in Martin Humphries’s lab.

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!

Our recent Science Signaling Research Article is featured in Signaling Breakthroughs of the Year published in the current issue of Science Signaling.

The Signaling Breakthroughs of the Year Editorial Guide is an annual feature that shortlists the most important cell signalling advances of the previous year. Science Signaling Chief Scientific Editor Michael Yaffe (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) highlighted our proteomic analysis of integrin signalling complexes as a notable contribution to the development of methodologies that enable network-level analyses of signal transduction, an important theme of this year’s selected signalling breakthroughs.

I am also pleased to have created one of the figures used in the Editorial Guide.
