In July, members of our team—Dr Robert Dawber, Tim Bell, and Keir Pebody—attended the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Protein and Peptide Science Group (PPSG) 2025 Early Stage Researcher Meeting in Birmingham.
The conference provided a platform for early career researchers to present their work, exchange ideas, and build connections within the scientific community. We’re proud to share that both Rob and Tim presented their research findings, contributing to the discussions that make PPSG a valuable experience for young researchers.
Tim’s talk presented his PhD work involving peptide arrays for informing chemokine PPIs and Probe Development. Meanwhile, Rob’s poster described his work to develop new methods to study how post-translational modifications (PTMs) on histones control gene activity.
“By generating libraries of histone peptides with different combinations of these markers, we can test how enzymes interact with them, helping us better understand the complex ‘language’ of epigenetics and how this pertains to diseases such as cancer.” (Rob Dawber)
We’re delighted our team could be part of this annual event, bringing emerging scientists from across the UK together.
