Texan Researchers Visit School of Life Sciences

A major delegation of Texan researchers, together with leading scientists from across the UK, recently visited the School of Life Sciences for a three-day biosciences workshop in the field of Cell Signalling.

The workshop was staged as part of the Department of Trade and Industry/Texas Bioscience Collaboration, and involved leading researchers from ten universities in Texas and their counterparts from universities throughout the UK.

The workshop hosted by the University is the eleventh in the series hosted by leading institutions in both UK and Texas since the workshop programme began in February 2003.

Professor Sir Philip Cohen, Director of the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit at the University of Dundee said, "We were really delighted that so many of the key Research Institutions from Texas wanted to visit Dundee and attend the Cell Signalling meeting. There are many leading researchers in this field in Texas and I hope that this conference will lead to fruitful collaborations in the future".
