Platelet Society members attend bioinformatics workshop

In September, Platelet Society members attended the Genomics Workshop in Cambridge. Alex Bye, from the University of Reading, has written a short report on the meeting, which details the fantastic opportunity attendees had to learn cutting-edge techniques for genomic analysis directly from researchers that are using and developing them.

New Platelets journal cover image announced!

The Platelets journal www.tandfonline.com/loi/iplt20 recently ran their annual cover image competition which will feature on the cover of the journal for the whole of 2019. Several Platelet Society members entered stunning images, but the final winners were Nathan Eaton and Hervé Falet from the Blood Research Institute (Wisconsin) for their stunning image “Platelet Fireworks”, showing Dnm2-null platelets on a fibrinogen surface after GPVI activation.

Well done to Nathan and Hervé.

The Platelet Society was celebrating success.

Many congratulations to Jawad S. Khalil, PhD student at the University of Hull with Francisco Rivero and Khalid Naseem, who passed his PhD viva on the 3rd October. His thesis entitled “A novel interaction of the myosin light chain phosphatase with the regulatory subunits of protein kinase A in platelets” was examined by Dr. Steve Thomas (U. of Birmingham) and Monica Arman (U. of Hull).

Well done Jawad from the Platelet Society, and good luck in your future career! ... See MoreSee Less
