Lab News
- 3/12/10: New postdoc Carlos le Sage has been awarded a prestigious Long-Term EMBO Fellowship which will support his research for up to two years.
- 5/10/10: Abdul Kaidi's talk "SIRT6 joins the HR team" was awarded the prize for the best postdoctoral talk at the recent Cambridge Cancer Centre Postdoctoral Meeting.
- 25/10/10: "SIR-viving DNA Damage": Kaidi et al., is highlighted in Stress Select in the latest issue of Molecular Cell. This feature presents recent work on the molecular mechanisms that underlie diverse cellular stress responses, covering pathways that affect the fundamental processes of DNA synthesis, DNA repair, translation, and protein turnover.
- 18/10/10: Steve is listed in the top 20 Most Cited Authors in the field of Molecular Genetics and Genomics, as reported in Lab Times, for papers published between 1997 and 2008.
- 14/09/10: Kaidi et al., is featured as Editors Choice in this week's Science Signaling.
- 10/09/10: Two new papers have been published, an advance online publication in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology by postdoc Kyle Miller and colleagues; and a Report in Science by postdoc Abdul Kaidi. Both papers highlight the importance of deacetylation in regulating DNA damage repair and provide important insights into the use of histone and lysine deacetylase inhibitors in cancer therapy.
- 10/08/10: Three new papers from the lab have been published in the last month: one in JCB co-authored by PhD student Simona Giunta and postdoc Rimma Belotserkovskaya (featured in 'In this Issue'); an advance online publication in EMBO journal by postdoc Sophie Polo; and Steve has a joint publication with Azim Surani in Science. These shed light on a variety of aspects of the DNA damage response from what happens to DNA damage during mitosis to how chromatin is remodelled both during development and following DNA damage.
- 04/07/10: 9 runners including 4 members of the Jackson lab took to the streets of Cambridge last weekend to take part in this year's Race for Life, raising over £300 for Cancer Research UK.
- 28/05/10: And congratulations to postdoc Ross Chapman on being awarded a highly prestigious Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship. These annual awards are given to the most promising newly qualified postdoctoral researchers to make an early start in developing their independent research careers.
- 27/05/10: Congratulations to postdoc Sebastien Britton on being awarded a prestigious EMBO long-term fellowship. This will allow him to continue his research into novel proteins involved in the DNA damage response.
- 07/01/10: A Perspective on "DNA resection in eukaryotes" by postdoc Pablo Huertas is published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology this month.
- 05/01/10: The breakthrough described in the two Nature papers featured on 21st Dec has been featured in a BBC news report
