Comparative Genomics Of Eukaryotic Microorganisms: Understanding The Complexity Of Diversity It will be held in Sant Feliux, Spain October  15-20, 2011. The website has more details including an impressive slate of speakers. I can attest to it being a great meeting from my attendance 2 years ago. A great venue and excellent speakers and plenty of time to linger and discuss ideas and research over meals and coffee breaks.   (Source: Fungal Genomes and Comparative Genomics) Fungal Genomes and Comparative Genomics blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4450452 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:00:05 +0100 4450452 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2056259&cid=t_109527_132_f&fid=35624&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsuicyte.wordpress.com%2F2008%2F12%2F21%2Fubiquitin-on-lake-garda-reloaded%2F Hardcore readers of this blog might remember my reports on the EMBO conference “Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-like modifiers in cellular regulation” in September 2007 in Riva del Garda. See e.g. here, here, and most scientifically here. As I wrote before, this was one of the best conferences I have been to so far, with an excellent scientific content, great atmosphere, and a beautiful setting. I have just been informed that there will be 2nd such conference in September 2009, at the same venue in Riva del Garda. The 2009 title will be “Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-like modifiers in health and disease“. Again, the organizers (mainly the Rubicon folks) have assembled a very promising line-up of invited speakers,  including Aaron Ciechanover, Allan D’Andrea, Allan Weissman, Br...

Please share your cancer stories, as they will help others: coping with the drastic change that occurs in your daily life due to cancer knowing that they are not alone and can ask us Thanks for sharing Kaye! Kaye’s Cancer Story I feel so much for what you and your family are going through Kristen. I went through the diagnosis and dying period of my husband Kim in a state of shock and the period where he withdrew was so hard as we were like one in life. I reckon if a cancer can enter your families’ life as unforeseen and uninvited as it has then there is every possibility that a miracle can as well. It just wasn’t the case for my Kim and he left us soooo quickly. Kim was not af...

Until today I had no luck, but I am not complaining because medical research is a highly competitive field and three months are rarely enough to get a fantastic position. However, what I did manage to do during this period is to find, try and evaluate numerous websites designed to help you find research positions (PhD, post doc or anything else). I am bringing you a little review of these websites enriched by my own observations and some tips on how to use them in the most efficient manner. There are also other resources you can find and use, but I believe the ones presented here will get you off on a good start. I wish you luck in finding your dream position. If b...

But we may be able to stop cancer cells in their tracks through a process called senescence. In senescence, cells don't divide. And when cells don't divide, they don't grow. In such a scenario then, cancer cells wouldn't divide and therefore couldn't grow.Think about this:According to lab tests on mice, triggering senescence in certain cells hampers the growth of some tumors.Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are the ones behind the scenes on this project -- the study appears online in EMBO Reports, a publication of the European Molecular Biology Organization -- and all eyes are on the p53 gene.The p53 gene lives...
