February 2006
1st UK Local Chapter meeting in London
The first local chapter meeting for
EMBL alumni in the UK took place
on 15 February at London's University
College. Forty scientists gathered for an
afternoon of science and networking.
Talks were given by ex-EMBL Group
Leader Angus Lamond of Dundee
University ["Time-lapse proteomics and a
quantitative analysis of nuclear dynamics"],
Geoff Richards of the Human
Frontier Science Programme ["HFSP as a
user-friendly programme"], Christian
Boulin ["Core Facilities at EMBL"], and
Graham Cameron ["Current and future
perspectives for the EBI"].
There was a great demand in the ensuing
discussions for a strong scientific programme
for future meetings. Sixty alumni
[including those who couldn't attend]
expressed interest in pursuing the development
of a UK local chapter, and
Graham Cameron offered to host one at
the EBI. Meetings offer an invaluable
opportunity for EMBL staff and alumni
to network and exchange scientific ideas.
The chair of the alumni board, Angus
Lamond, and the co-ordinators of the
event, Annalisa Pastore of the National
Institute for Medical Research in London
and Mark Pfuhl of the University of
Leicester, would like to thank their UCL
host, EMBL alumnus Dan Cutler, and all
participants. If you're interested in UK
chapter meetings contact Annalisa at
