The Dunn School is delighted to hear the news of Anton’s award for his research into immune recognition by non-catalytic tyrosine phosphorylated receptors.

Ivan has secured a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship to fund research into protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in genome stability and disease. We look forward to welcoming Ivan and his group to the Dunn School in the autumn.

Fumiko has been awarded a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship to try to answer the question: how do proliferating human cells maintain genome integrity? Congratulations.

The award is supporting the research of Matthew’s group into the control of signalling by members of the rhomboid-like superfamily. Senior Investigator Awards support exceptional, world-class researchers, so congratulations to all our recent recipients of the award.

Joining Dragana Ahel in the OMPI building from 1 September, will be research groups led by her husband, Ivan Ahel (also joining the Dunn School from Manchester), Ulrike Grüneberg (transferring from Biochemistry), and a current Dunn School group led by Monika Gullerova.

Congratulations to Monika Gullerova on her recent John Fell Main Award.  This will fund a postdoc position in her laboratory starting sometime this year.

Many congratulations to Susan Lea on her Wellcome Senior investigator Award.

Congratulations to Monica Martinez Alonso (Fodor lab) who has been awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship to study the interplay between the influenza virus and host transcriptional machineries.

Congratulations to Bungo Akiyoshi (Gull lab) who has been awarded a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship. Dr Akiyoshi will be studying chromosome segregation, a mechanism that occurs in all living cells each time they divide. Errors in this process lead to birth defects and diseases such as cancer. By studying the mechanism in the parasitic organism Trypanosoma...

Congratulations to Monika Gullerova who has been awarded MRC Career Development Award. The MRC career development award provides up to five years’ support for outstanding post-doctoral researchers who wish to consolidate their research skills and make the transition from post-doctoral research trainee to independent investigator.

Congratulations to Simon Hunt who will receive an Excellent Teacher award at a ceremony on 7th November at Rhodes House.

The British Heart Foundation has funded the Oxford Cardiovascular Science D. Phil. studentship scheme to be run by Professor David R. Greaves. This scheme will provide sixteen fully-funded 4-year graduate studentships for basic research into all aspects of cardiovascular science across the Medical Sciences Division from October 2013 – October 2016 (£2.3 million over 7 years)....

Many congratulations to Omer Dushek who has been awarded a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship. The start date is September 1, 2012 and it is for 5 years. The title of the award is: ‘Predicting efficient T cell activation with therapeutic applications.  The aim is to use mathematical modelling and quantitative experiments to provide mechanistic models...
