Masucci Maria Grazia, Strous Ger

Maria Masucci's Group, Ger Strous's Group

The lecturers are specialists at the cross-roads of membrane trafficking and ubiquitin/SUMO systems in the fields of biochemistry, molecular and cell biology and yeast genetics. In their lectures, these experts gave in-depth insights into the state-of-the-art in their fields, and presented their recent work with emphasis on novel results, the application of specific methods, troubleshooting, uses of positive and negative controls etc. Methods applicable to study ubiquitinylation and sumoylation are relatively complicated to establish in the individual laboratory. Therefore, a detailed discussion of methodology was integrated in the presentations to teach the participating students and young researchers how to best design experiments using ubiquitinylation/sumoylation techniques. During the course’s morning sessions the invited teachers/experts lectured for the course participants. In the early afternoon, they gave a research seminar open to the students and scientists of the Karolinska Institute, followed by lively discussions between the teachers and the audience. The course’s afternoon sessions consisted of research seminars where each of the participants presented a research paper (15 minutes and 15 minutes discussion) indicated by the teachers, again followed by open discussions. The evenings were reserved for leisure time and visits to the city of Stockholm.
