An augmented multiple protease based human phosphopeptide atlas
Last year two first drafts of the human proteome were made available[1, 2]. These drafts provide an overview of all proteins detected in different cells and tissues of our body. As proteins are the prime molecular entities responsible for all biological processes these drafts tell us which “players” are present. A next step in the […]
Top-Punt Grant for Alexandre Bonvin and Marc Baldus
Alexandre Bonvin and Marc Baldus (Utrecht Univeristy) will receive one of the TOP-PUNT grants of NWO Chemical Sciences . In total, NWO awarded four out of thirteen received research proposals. Bonvin and Baldus will receive two million euros to start a new, challenging and innovative research line. Caught in the act: a combined magnetic resonance – modelling […]
Vidi grant for Bas Dutilh and Kirsten Tusscher
NWO has awarded two Vidi grants to dr. Bas E. Dutilh and dr. Kirsten ten Tusscher. They both received € 800,000 to develop their own research line and set up a research group over the next five years. Dr. Bas E. Dutilh will discover new human gut-associated bacteriophages and investigate their role in structuring the […]
Tree of Life anders dan gedacht
Recent publiceerden onderzoekers een artikel dat suggereert dat de boom van het leven niet drie, maar twee hoofdtakken heeft. Wat voor implicaties heeft dit? Martijn van Calmthout praat erover met hoogleraar bio-informatica Berend Snel, evolutionair microbioloog Thijs Ettema die deel uitmaakt van het team dat de ontdekking deed. Beluister het interview
We-NMR cluster at Utrecht Bijvoet Center accommodated into Life Science Grid
SURFsara recently set up a new Life Science Grid cluster at the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research (BCBR) in Utrecht, replacing the We-NMR cluster that is used for molecular modelling. The cluster allows users to have access via a local user interface or grid environment giving access also to EU compute resources. Read more on the […]
