Histoni ry:n uusi kevätvuosikokous 6.5. klo 17 Kontinkankaalla // Histoni ry's new annual spring meeting 6.5. at 5 PM at Kontinkangas
by Lauri Rannaste 03 May '15

03 May '15

[In English below] Hei, Tämä vuosi ei ole lähtenyt hyvin kevätvuosikokouksien saralla. Ensimmäistä kevätvuosikokousta ei voitu pitää, koska eräitä dokumentteja ei oltu toimitettu killan sääntöjen määrämässä ajassa toiminnantarkastajalle. Toisessa kevätvuosikokouksessa päätettyihin asioihin on ollut moni kiltalainen tyytymätön ja sen vuoksi on vaadittu uutta kevätvuosikokousta. Tämän vuoksi Histoni ry:n hallitus on päätynyt seuraavaan päätökseen: Histoni ry:n uusi kevätvuosikokous järjestetään keskiviikkona 6.5. klo 17 lähtien Kontinkankaan kiltahuoneella. Kokouksessa tullaan kumoamaan edellisessä kevätvuosikokouksessa päätetyt asiat, esittämään mm. tilinpäätös ja toimintasuunnitelma tälle vuodelle sekä päätetään edellisen hallituksen vastuuvapaudesta. Molemmissa kevätvuosikokouksissa oli myös vähän äänioikeutettuja jäseniä, joten olisi toivottavaa, että mahdollisimman moni Histonin jäsen pääsisi tulemaan tähän kokoukseen. Kaikki Histoni ry:n äänioikeutetut jäsenet ovat tosiaan tervetulleita päättämään killan asioista. Kokouksen asialista on liitteenä. Histoni ry:n hallituksen puolesta, Lauri Rannaste Puheenjohtaja Histoni ry --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, In the first annual spring meeting of Histoni a certain document wasn't delivered on time to the performance auditor. The second annual spring meeting of Histoni was held, but due to several errors many members of the guild have demanded new annual spring meeting of Histoni. The annual spring meeting of Histoni will be arranged again on Wednesday 6th of May, starting at 5 PM at the guild room of Kontinkangas. All members of Histoni are welcome to join this meeting (which is held preferably in Finnish, but the main points can be translated into English). The agenda of the meeting is attached to this email. On behalf of the Histoni ry's board, Lauri Rannaste Chairman Histoni ry

FW: [Bco] A research position in the field of RNA Polymerase II Gene Transcription is open in Barboric laboratory at Biomedicum Helsinki 1, University of Helsinki
by Tuomo Glumoff 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

The position is open in Barboric laboratory at the Institute of Biomedicine, Department of Biochemistry & Developmental Biology at University of Helsinki. My research group, which consists of two doctoral students, a postdoc and a senior scientist, investigates mechanisms that control transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. This phase in gene transcription has emerged only recently as a major regulatory step in metazoan gene expression. By using biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and systems biology approaches, we are seeking to understand biological roles P-TEFb and Cdk12/CycK complexes, key transcription elongation kinases, their function in mRNA synthesis and processing, as well as the significance of RNA polymerase II elongation control in human diseases such as cancer. The selected student will have an opportunity to work on two areas of immediate interest. First, we are developing assays to reveal the nature of coordination between gene transcription and pre-mRNA maturation. Second, we are studying how frequently occurring CDK12 mutations in cancers contribute to genomic instability. Requirements I am looking for a committed, creative and independent thinker willing to work hard towards the research objectives. The competitive candidate should have a strong passion for science and genuine interest in gene expression. He/She could be a Masters student or a student looking for a laboratory to start his/her doctoral studies and must have a strong theoretical background in molecular biology. Expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics or related fields is pre-requisite for the position. Also, good command in spoken and written English is required. Please send your application including a cover letter, CV, summary of your research interests, and 2 letters of reference to matjaz.barboric(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:matjaz.barboric@helsinki.fi> and valentina.lenasi(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:valentina.lenasi@helsinki.fi> Employment conditions The selected candidate will be offered a monthly grant with an initial 3-month trial period. If successful, the period will be first extended to one year, with a possibility of furthering the contract depending on the financial situation of the laboratory. The Institute of Biomedicine offers a unique and stimulating research environment surrounded by state-of-the-art resources and facilities of the leading and largest biomedical research campus in Finland. http://www.biomed.helsinki.fi/english/ The University of Helsinki is a research oriented university which offers stimulating and international environment and ranks in top 15 best universities in Europe. http://www.helsinki.fi/research/index.shtml For further information, please contact: Matjaz Barboric, Ph.D. Institute of Biomedicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki Biomedicum Helsinki 1, Room B233b, Haartmaninkatu 8, 00290 Helsinki, Finland Email: matjaz.barboric(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:matjaz.barboric@helsinki.fi> References: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Barboric+M

pro gradu project
by Nadiya Byts 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Hei, Gradupaikka tarjolla Prof. Johanna Myllyharjun ryhmässä Lääketieteellisen biokemian ja molekyylibiologian laitoksella. There is a pro gradu project available in Prof. Johanna Myllyharju's group at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The starting date of pro gradu is flexible (from August till October 2015) and can be negotiated. The research of the group is focused on the role of Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-4-hydroxylases (HIF-P4Hs) isoenzymes ( http://www.oulu.fi/biocenter/groups/myllyharju). These<http://www.oulu.fi/biocenter/groups/myllyharju).%20%20These> are oxygen sensors that regulate organism adaptation to low oxygen levels. The proposed pro gradu project will be about the roles of HIF-P4Hs in the nervous system. It will be focused on link between HIF-P4Hs and calcium signaling on one hand and on the functional discrepancy in neural cells caused by changes in calcium signaling on the other hand. This project is heavily based on use of different transgenic mouse models. In the moment we have knockout/ hypomorphic mice available for each of the four isoenzymes existing in mammals (HIF-P4Hs 1, 2, 3 and HIF-P4H TM). Methods will include primary cell culture of different neural cell types isolated from newborn mice, RNA/protein extraction from cells and mouse tissues, quantitative PCR, Western blot, immunostaining, cryosectioning & histology, calcium imaging, various functional assays on synaptic plasticity and cell death, usage of pharmacological agonists/antagonists. For more information please contact, Nadiya Byts Nadiya.Byts(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Nadiya.Byts@oulu.fi> Looking forward, Nadiya ----- Nadiya Byts, Ph.D. University of Oulu Institute of Biomedicine Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology P.O.Box 5000hj FI-90014 University of Oulu Finland
