May 27-29 2015

We would like to announce the 1st HADDOCK Workshop in Poznan on May 27-29 2015. The invited guests Prof. Alexandre Bonvin and Dr Anna Vangone from Computational Structural Biology Group, Science Faculty, Utrecht University, Netherlands will introduce the usage of HADDOCK software. HADDOCK is a pioneer software in data-driven (or integrative) modelling of protein interactions. Developed since 2003 in Bonvin Lab, it has been cited ca. 1000 times. A user-friendly web server is also available. HADDOCK is well-known for its ability to integrate data in the modelling calculations. Workshop is organized by our department and sponsored by KNOW and VitaInSilica Sp. z o. o.

Our paper has been recently published:

Szelag M, Urbaniak A, Bluyssen HA (2015) A THEORETICAL ANTIOXIDANT PHARMACOPHORE FOR NATURAL HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACIDS. Open Chemistry 13: 17-31 10.1515/chem-2015-0001.

We are happy to inform you that the head of DHMG, Hans Bluyssen is now officially a professor. Yesterday, he received professorship from the President of Poland.

DHMG is looking for a PhD student to participate in a research project of the international PhD program of KNOW “RNA Research Centre in Poznań”: Characterization of the type I IFN-induced miRNA transcriptome and identification of novel miRNA genes, their ISG-targets and antiviral potential. For more details, please see the attachment.

On 18-12-2014 Stefan Chmielewski  successfully defended his thesis, entitled “STAT1 and IRF-mediated signal integration of interferon gamma and TLR4 in vascular inflammation”. Congratulations!
