The structures of many protein molecules remain unsolved even after experts apply an extensive array of approaches. An international collaboration has led to a new, high-performance method that rapidly determined the structure of protein molecules in several cases where previous methods had failed.
The usefulness of the new method is reported May 1 inNature advanced online publication. The lead authors are Dr. Frank DiMaio of the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle and Dr. Thomas C. Terwilliger of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. The senior author is Dr. David Baker, of the UW Department of Biochemistry.
RE: Agilent grants for systems biology software development
ReplyDeleteDear Jeffrey Liu,
I am writing to you on behalf of Leo Bonilla, Director of Marketing for Integrated Biology, Agilent Technologies, Inc. Leo and the Integrated Biology team at Agilent have been reading your blog, Protein Life: R&D experience of a bioinformatician, and thought you may be interested in sharing a funding opportunity with your readers. Agilent is fostering integrated, whole-systems approaches to biological research through two $75,000 US grants (application deadline August 12, 2011). Funds will support academic or nonprofit research projects covering the development of open source software tools for integrating data from different omics platforms—genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
For full details on eligibility, submission, and review process, please visit www.Agilent.com/lifesciences/emerginginsights.
If you have any questions or would like to interview Leo about the grant program, I’d be happy to set up a phone call. Just reply to my email and I’ll connect you with Leo.
Sincerely,
Pia Abola, Ph.D.
