Prof. Sharad Kumar from University of South Australia in Adelaide is going to visit us to give a talk on

"Regulation of Membrane Proteins by the Nedd4 Family of Ubiquitin Ligases".

The talk will start at 5:30 pm in the Lecture Hall of Building 706.

The option to meet Prof. Kumar personally is also offered, as he is staying in Mainz until the 11th of June. There are slots for meetings available both on the 9th and probably also the 10th of June.

Especially students and young researchers are encouraged to make use of this opportunity to meet one of the leading scientists in the field of cell death, ubiquitination, and cancer research in order to initiate collaborations. Perhaps this forum serves as an avenue to find your next position.

Sharad Kumar is one of the pioneers in cell death research and his lab cloned all the NEDD genes including NEDD2/Caspase-2. He is the Co-Director of the Center for Cancer Biology and Head of the Molecular Regulation Laboratory, University of South Australia, Adelaide.
