Batu Erman's research group has been awarded

FENS faculty member Batu Erman's research group has been awarded a United Kingdom, Royal Society Newton International Exchanges Fellowship in collaboration with Prof. Erika Mancini of Oxford University, for a 2 year project entitled “Structure Determination of Transcription Factor Proteins Important for Cancer”. The two research teams will collaborate to determine the X-ray crystal structure of transcription factor proteins that were identified in Dr. Erman's lab to play an important role in cancer. The project will involve the synthesis of these proteins and the identification of their structure using the Oxford Diamond Light Source. Protein structure determination is a critical step forward towards the goal of designing anti-cancer drugs.
