The NorMIC Oslo node consisting of the IMBV (IBV) Imaging facility and OUS Confocal Core Facility will arrange a two-day practical user course in live cell imaging and super-resolution microscopy. The course is primarily for participants that already have started to use imaging and need live cell imaging in their work. There will be given theoretical lectures on confocal, super-resolution and... Read more
A new text book about quantitative proteomics by researches at the University of Bergen and Ghent University, Belgium.
8th National Proteomics Meeting in Oslo.
The Molecular Imaging Center (MIC) is this year hosts the fifth national NorMIC microscopy symposium to be held in Bergen on October 25th – 26th 2012. In addition to international and national speakers, suppliers will install whole confocal microscopes for the participants to bring their own samples.
Dr. Lars Skjærven and Professor Aurora Martinez got their publication highlighted on the October issue of Proteins.
Researchers in TSG have, together with collaborators in Helsinki, identified a novel class of cyclic lipopeptides, named Anabaenolysin after the producing cyanobacterium, Anabaena. The lipopeptides have two glycines, two unusual amino acids, where one contains and a long unsaturated fatty acid chain. Their structures enable them to penetrate into membranes, but preferably membranes containing... Read more
