Hosted by The British Society of Parasitology in collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry

Microbial protein targets: towards understanding and intervention

14–16 September 2016, Durham, UK

This symposium will bring together leading expertise in protein structure determination, biochemical characterization and chemical biology to explore the most recent advances in the understanding of protein function and inhibition in microbial pathogens – both bacteria and parasites.

An exciting line-up of speakers will present their recent work in the area. Some of the confirmed speakers are:

Chris Abell University of Cambridge, UK

Ed Tate Imperial College London, UK
Maria Marco-Martin GSK Tres Contos, Spain

Take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your work alongside leaders in the field and submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation today. Through generous sponsorship from the RSC Chemical Biology Interface Division and the BSP there are bursaries available for early career researchers to support their participation at this meeting.

The oral abstract deadline has just been extended until 15 July 2016, and poster abstracts are welcome until 5 August 2016. For more information and to register please visit the conference webpage.

New Editorial Board Members

18 Feb 2016

By Amy Cook.

We are very pleased to welcome two new members to our Natural Product Reports Editorial Board. Professor Janet Smith (University of Michigan, USA) and Dr Olga Genilloud (Fundación MEDINA, Spain).

Professor Janet Smith obtained her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1978. After postdoctoral studies at the Naval Research Laboratory, she was an associate research scientist at Columbia University. Professor Smith moved to Purdue University and established a research program in structural biology in 1987, where she remained as Professor of Biological Sciences until moving to the Life Science Institute, University of Michigan, in 2005. She is currently Margaret J. Hunter Collegiate Professor in the Life Sciences, Professor of Biological Chemistry and Director of the Centre for Structural Biology at University of Michigan.

Her research focuses on:

Understanding protein structure and function using X-ray crystallography as a structural tool
Examining the structures of proteins from infectious pathogens including the RNA viruses that cause West Nile disease, yellow fever, and dengue hemorrhagic fever
Understanding the operation of biosynthetic assembly lines for natural products and the activity and selectivity of enzymes that catalyse unusual reactions in natural product biosynthesis

Dr Olga Genilloud obtained her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 1988. Following this she joined the Drug Discovery Research Center at Merck Sharp and Dohme in Spain were she led the bacterial natural products program. In 2009 she was appointed Scientific Director at Fundación MEDINA and Head of the Microbiology department.

Her main research interests are focused on:

The production of novel microbial natural products
The exploration of novel microbial diversity to deliver novel chemistry
The development of molecular and chemical tools to support natural products drug discovery and the identification of potential new therapeutics
