Signalling 2015: Cellular Functions of Phosphoinositides and Inositol Phosphates
Posted by Anh Ho, on 15 May 2015
A joint Biochemical Society / FEBS Focused Meeting, held to mark the retirement of Professor Robin Irvine, FRS. It will be organized by Len Stephens, Phill Hawkins, Colin Taylor and Peter Cullen. The meeting will begin on the afternoon of Tuesday 1 September, and conclude before lunch on Friday 4 September 2015. The link with Robin Irvine’s retirement has allowed us to attract the most eminent researchers in the field. There will be poster sessions from which early career speakers will be selected. The Colworth Medal lecture will be presented by Dr Helen Walden (Dundee). Sessions will be chaired by distinguished colleagues of Robin, including Professor Sir Michael Berridge, Professors Jim Putney and Bob Michell. There will be no evening sessions, but there will be an active programme of social events.
Topics:
- Inositol phosphates
- Inositol phospholipids
- Calcium signalling
- PI kinases and phosphatases
- Intracellular trafficking
- Therapeutic opportunities and challenges
