COVID-19. As the University of Liverpool is shutdown, we are running samples
at reduced capacity, and giving priority to those relevant to the coronavirus pandemic.
Be safe, everyone! See you on the other side.
We're sad to say 'até logo' to Cat, who has gone to manage a proteomics lab in the University of Cambridge. She has been a key SRF member, taking on perhaps the more 'exotic of samples'. We wish her well and wait to see new exciting things from her!
Well, it had to happen, and he's been muttering about it for long enough, bot Rob will also retire in November. He will stay on in an honorary status until all PhD students have graduated and all grants have finished, thus putting a different spin on the term 'retirement'!
Equally sad to say 'goodbye' to Deb, another SRF staff member. Deb will retire (no, she's really not that old!), leaving a remarkable and grateful series of research groups where she delivered first class data to further their research.
Our annual highlights posters are now here: [Papers in 2019] and [Events in 2019], created as usual by Victoria.
We know this is going to be contentious, but have posters become too overwhelming? We tried a different interpretation at BMSS last year.

We've shown how REIMS can be used to analyse animal faeces and gain a great deal of information. Lovely work by Nicola, Natalie and Jos with with MBE [paper here]
Two new papers on our work with MBE - one on seminal vesicle fluid plasticity and the other using stable isotopes to track relative ejaculate investment in voles.
Other news
We are working hard to support open access and open data initiatives, and deposit raw data in [PRIDE]. You can find our submitted datasets elsewhere on the ProteomeExchange site [HERE]. If you want to see why making data available is important, look [here] and [here], in that order.
There may be postdoc and PhD student opportunities with Claire and Ed. Please make direct contact with them for general enquiries.
At the end of each year we produce a poster that captures our research outputs for the year, and also collates all of our main events, outreach, STEM activities etc. If you’d like to see these posters, then look for [EVENTS 2018] and [PUBS 2018] (PDF files). You can find our papers here (main menu, Papers) and pick up news information here.
We’ve prepared a full sized poster that covers the work we published: [2014] [2015] [2016] [2017][2018][2019]. We also publish an annual summary of great events. [EVENTS 2015] [EVENTS 2016] [EVENTS 2017][EVENTS 2018][EVENTS 2019]. The 2020 posters will appear here at the end of the year.
Web resources for proteomics
Pastel Biosciences have compiled an impressive set of web resources for proteomics. [HERE]
