We’re delighted to announce that our recent grant application to BBSRC has been successful. This is for a joint project with Martin Bushell at the Beatson Institute to investigate the role of the CCR4-NOT complex and regulatory elements in determining protein synthesis, destination and complex formation. Angie will be staying on as postdoc on the new grant.
