[FILM-Users 00301] FILM Image Competition: From dolphins to Paris... THE WINNER
by Martin Spitaler 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Dear microscopists, again, our FILM Image Of The Year 2012 competition has produced some spectacular images, but at the end, one image had the edge for the judges. As Catherine Wood from Tate Modern put it: ""Purely as a strong image I think the ventricle photograph number 10 is stunning... They are all beautiful though". So this year's winner of the FILM Image Of The Year competition is: ANITA ALVAREZ LAVIADA with her beautiful image of cardiomyocytes. Believe it or not, she has only just learned using our microscopes last October, and has convinced our judges straightaway. Congratulations, Anita, a really impressive achievement! I'm sure you will enjoy the first prize, the iPod nano, during your time at the microscopes. See the winning image and all other entries on our website: <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/portal/page/portallive/imagingfacility/research/…> A big THANKS to all entrants, but also to the JUDGES, who didn't have it easy - and of course, last but not least, to MOLECULAR PROBES / LIFE TECHNOLOGIES for their generous sponsorship. And as you can imagine, the calendars with the best 12 images look very impressive - they are still available, for £20 you can order your own copy. Those who didn't make it for the top prize, don't forget there are other competitions out there, have a look at the links on the FILM website under LINKS / MEETINGS, COURSES, COMPETITIONS. And those who didn't submit an image this year - the next one is only ten months away, so start watching out for that special one... Congratulations, and good imaging in 2013, Martin ########################################### *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

[FILM-Users 00299] competition and Christmas break
by Martin Spitaler 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Dear microscopists, unfortunately despite a fair amount of pushing, the judges have not all come back to me with the scoring of the competition entries, and for unknown reasons the calendars have also been delayed, so we'll have to be patient with all this until the beginning of the new year. I'm really sorry for this, I've really tried hard to push everything through in time. The FILM Crew will be away during the college closure, and we'll be back refreshed from Wednesday 2 January 2013. I personally will be on a meeting directly afterwards, I'll be back at my desk a week later, from Wednesday 9 January, but Mark and Steve will be available earlier. Which leaves me to wish you all a relaxing holiday, a nice and peaceful Christmas break and a good start into the new year. Thank you all for the good cooperation in the facility, best wishes for your break from imaging, Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

...forwarded for your information; the original PDF can be found on our documentation server as usual, under <w:\film-user mailing list\postdoc-alistair-hume.pdf>; for those who don't know, Alistair used to work here in Miguel Seabra's group and then moved on to create his own research group in Nottingham. He was one of our best microscopists, and they also have a very good facility in Nottingham, so if you like microscopy, this should be very interesting, Martin -------- Original Message -------- Subject: bbsrc funded phd opportunity Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2012 20:36:18 +0000 From: Alistair Hume <Alistair.Hume(a)nottingham.ac.uk> Dear All, Apologies for the mass email but I'd appreciateit if you could pass the attached PhD opportunity on to any suitable students. With thanks and best wishes, Alistair Alistair Hume D.Phil.

Title: Understanding the regulation of cancer associated protein Rab27. The small GTPase Rab27 is a general regulator of secretory granule transport and exocytosis. Its physiological importance is illustrated by the fact that Rab27 deficiency causes lethal immunodeficiency and partial albinism (Griscelli syndrome), while its over-expression drives the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer and melanoma cells. However, in spite of the obvious patho-physiological importance of Rab27 function, little is known of the mechanism(s) regulating its activity. Thus the aim of this project is to determine the molecular mechanisms that regulate the activation and intracellular targeting of Rab27. This project will involve the use of a wide variety of cell and molecular biology techniques including cell culture, plasmid and siRNA transfection, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, live cell imaging and particle tracking, molecular cloning, RT-PCR, PCR, western blotting and protein-protein interaction studies, thereby providing comprehensive skills and training to students embarking on a career in biomedical research. This project will be jointly supervised by Alistair Hume and Peter Jones (for more details see: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/biomedsci/) and will be within the newly established BBSRC doctoral training partnership hosted by the University of Nottingham and the Rothamstead Institute (for more details of the programme see: http://www.findaphd.com/search/PhDDetails.aspx?CAID=1032&LID=338 Applicants should have, or will expect to attain at least a 2i degree classification (or equivalent) in biochemistry, genetics, cell biology (or a related discipline). This studentship is available for a period of 4 years and provides a stipend of £13,590 per annum. Please note that certain eligibility conditions apply, and therefore, this studentship is only available to UK/EU citizens ordinarily resident in the UK. Successful applicants are identified in a 2-stage process involving appraisal by both the academic supervisors, and by the Doctoral Training Partnership Selection Panel.

[FILM-Users 00297] FILM Calendar 2012
by Martin Spitaler 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Dear microscopists, as in previous years, we will create a FILM Calendar from the top entries of our competition. Those of you who have submitted images will get one of those for free, but everyone else can also get one on request. You have to pay for it obviously, but for the quality you get, £21 is an adequate price. And I've just noticed Photobox (where I order them) has a special discount on, so if you are quick and order it from me today, you get them for ~£16. Please let me know; good imaging, Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

This antibody is the first of its kind, working in both WB and IF applications, I hope it will help researchers with the cloning and expression level assessment of their mEOS2 fusion proteins. To see validation data in relevant applications, please follow the link or get in touch to find out more. http://badrilla.com/meos2.html I look forward to hearing from you With best regards Gavin -------------- Dr Gavin Allsop Badrilla Ltd Leeds Innovation Centre 103 Clarendon Road Leeds LS2 9DF United Kingdom -------------- new http://badrilla.com http://email07.europe.secureserver.net/images/social_media/icon_sm_twitter.… <http://twitter.com/@BadrillaLtd>http://email07.europe.secureserver.net/images/social_media/icon_sm_facebook… <http://facebook.com/BadrillaLtd>
