Three of my images have been shortlisted for the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) 2012 Proteomics Photography and Graphic Arts Contest. The three images illustrate different aspects of proteomics, which is the study of all proteins in a given system, such as a cell. You can vote for your favourite image here.
I have recently returned from the Keystone Symposia meeting “Proteomics, Interactomes” that took place in Stockholm, Sweden (7th-12th May). It was the first Keystone Symposia meeting in Stockholm, which, although lacking the ski slopes so often sampled at Keystone meetings, made for a very pleasant venue. It was also the inaugural “Proteomics, Interactomes” conference, and hopefully it will be the first of many. The meeting was a great success, with an excellent range of speakers.
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 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.
This week’s issue of Science Signaling features an image that I designed for its cover. In conjunction with this week’s Science Special Issue on Dealing with Data, the Science Signaling Focus Issue examines the issues surrounding the rapid increase in the generation of research data and how to address the challenges of storing, curating and accessing these data.
Science Signaling cover, 2011, vol. 4 (no. 160)
My cover image is based on data from the proteomic analysis of integrin adhesion complexes, which we published previously in Science Signaling. In the image, proteins detected by mass spectrometry in different signalling complexes were compared by hierarchical clustering and displayed as a heat map.
