Panagis Fillipakopoulos, University of Oxford

Dr.Fillipakopoulos's group employs high throughput structural biology techniques in order to study the structural and functional role of BET bromodomains in transcription initiation and the implications of dysfunctional BET bromodomains in disease.

Assaf Friedler, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Prof. Friedler has set up an interdisciplinary platform for the study of protein-protein interactions, encompassing Organic Chemistry, Biophysics, Molecular and Theoretical Biology.

Albert Jeltsch, University of Stuttgart, Germany

Prof. Jeltsch's group works in the field of Molecular Epigenetics, studying the methylation of DNA and histone proteins as well as protein modules that specifically read these modifications. They also investigate the mechanism and specificiy of enzymes involved in epigenetic processes and are engaged in the development of enzyme inhibitors. In Synthetic Biology, thye aim to improve the properties of enzymes and proteins for various applications by rational and evolutionary design and develop artificial gene regulation elements. Prof. Jeltsch is unable to attend and his talk is being given by a colleague, Dr. Srikanth Kudithipudi

Pankaj Karande, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute , Troy, NY, USA

Prof. Karande’s research programme is focused on engineering peptides as novel drugs, drug carriers and multifunctional biomaterials for medical applications.

Pat Kiely, University of Limerick

Dr. Kiely's research emphasis is on deciphering the localized and transient signalling events which occur in cells during migration. His group uses a series of complimentary and synergistic molecular approaches and novel technologies (including 3-dimensional cell culture models and peptide array technology) to investigate how protein complexes are assembled in signalling pathways during this process.

Robert Liskamp, University of Glasgow

Prof. Liskamp has recently moved to take the Chair of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry in the School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow. Previosuly he was Head of Medicinal Chemistry and Chemicals Biology in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Utrecht.

Donald Maurice, Queen's University, Kingston ON, Canada

Prof. Maurice is Director of the Cardiac, Circulatory & Respiratory Research Program. Studies in progress in his laboratory focus on the molecular basis of cyclic nucleotide-mediated effects in vascular tissues

Gil Rosenman, Tel Aviv University, Israel

Prof. Rosenman has developed peptide nanodots that show interesting physics, from ferroelectricity and nonlinear optics to strong luminescence and charge memory. He has created peptide dot arrays with 20nm resolution that can be used for ultradense charge memory devices (flash bioorganic memory).

Bryan Serrels, Edinburgh Cancer Research UK Centre, UK

Dr. Serrels works in the group of Margaret Frame, Science Director of the Edinburgh Cancer Research UK Centre. He uses Reverse Phase Protein Arrays (RPPA) as a high throughput functional proteomics tool for the analysis of pre-clinical and clinical material. The technique is an interesting complement to peptide array technologies.

Shlomo Yitzchaik,Institute of Chemistry and The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Prof. Yitzchaik will describe selectivity data in the kinase-promoted phosphorylation of peptidic substrates, either in microarrays (glass or plastic) or electrode-immobilized (gold or nitride) using the serine/threonine kinases PKA, PKC, and CaMK2.
