We are delighted to welcome Dr Helen Walden from the Protein Function Research Laboratory at the London Research Institute in Lincoln’s Inn Fields to the UK FA Research Network. See Research Network list for further details.

Her lab is a structural biology lab dedicated to understanding protein regulation through ubiquitination, and they have recently determined the full-length atomic structure of FANCL.  This has been accepted for publication and should be out shortly. The whole lab is now working towards structurally and functionally characterising the core complex and the ubiquitination of FANCD2 and FANCI.

She is intending to organise a one-day meeting/get-together of many of the UK-based FA researchers in spring 2010 in the hope of stimulating some collaborative efforts.
