Postdoctoral fellowship in Biochemistry and Proteomics of the Cell Cycle, Montpellier, France
A 30 months postdoctoral position is available early 2010 within the frame of the ANR funded project CDKDNA ("Control of DNA replication and genome stability by cyclin-dependent kinases: substrates and functions"). The goal of the project is to use chemical genetics techniques (Ubersax et al., 2003, Nature; adapted by Blethrow et al., 2008, PNAS) to purify and identify CDK substrates from a physiologically functional system of Xenopus egg extracts. Beside experience in protein purification, (...)
General assessment of the pôle Biologie Santé : an exceptional convergence thanks to a high level of mutualization
While IFR3 was established among the very first such structures in 1994, IFR122 was created only in 2003 as a merger between two pre-existing IFR (24 and 56) with an aim to integrate laboratories in close vicinity : the CNRS campus of the route de Mende and the University of Monpellier II campus (UM2). The IFR3 (Arnaud de Villeneuve campus) later followed a similar merging dynamics to include first IFR56 (Saint-Eloi campus) and then the Institut Régional de Biothérapie (IRB, Saint-Eloi), the (...)

Functional analysis of mouse models dedicated to physiopathology
Splicos Therapeutics
This new cooperative laboratory is created jointly between Splicos, CNRS, INSERM and the Universities of Montpellier I and II. It is intended to give a strong impetus to the drug discovery endeavour of the teams headed by Pierre ROUX (CRBM) and Jamal TAZI (IGMM) and to bring it to the point where they can match the requirements of pharmaceutical research. This additional effort would also provide a good return to basic science inasmuch as candidate drugs are valuable tools to further (...)
Structuring the future Biology-Health pole of the University of Montpellier South of France (UMSF) campus.
Since the onset of the UMSF campus process, the Biology-Health community has recognized, among other emerging domains, three lines of scientific excellence : neurosciences, infectiology and cancer. At this stage, there is an overwhelming need for these three domains to be strongly structured. A pioneering step was achieved by the Montpellier-Cancer initiative as a result of the spontaneous gathering of a thinking tank of both scientists and clinicians. Montpellier-Cancer has assigned (...)
