CANCER CENTER SEMINAR SERIESIf You Only Have Time to Attend One Talk on Autophagy Today–This is the One!
Friday, November 12, 2010 Please join us Friday, November 12 at the next Cancer Center Seminar Series featuring guest speaker Daniel Klionsky, PhD. Dr. Klionsky, Alexander G. Ruthven Professor of Life Sciences University of Michigan, will present If You Only Have Time to Attend One Talk on Autophagy Today–This is the One! Dr. Klionsky's research focuses on protein targeting, organelle biogenesis and autophagy in baker's yeast. His lab made the pioneering discovery of the cytoplasm to vacuole targeting pathway, a specific type of autophagy, and the only example of a biosynthetic function for this normally degradative process. His lab's work has led to a molecular understanding of cargo recognition and packaging, and membrane recycling during autophagy. In 2004, Dr. Klionsky edited the first textbook on "Autophagy." He helped launch the Gordon Research Conference on "Autophagy in Stress, Development and Disease," and served as Chair in 2005. Dr. Klionsky is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal Autophagy. In recognition of his research and teaching, Dr. Klionsky was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2009.

This $50,000 one-year non-renewable grant will support post-doctoral training to individuals who have completed at least one year of training in any field of oncology and have at least one year of training remaining at an AACI member institution. Deadline: December 17 CTSC Pilot FundingThe Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) announces the December 1, 2010 quarterly competition for core utilization pilot funding of up to $10,000 to support activities provided by any of the CTSC Core facilities. This program is being supported by CWRU, UH, and MetroHealth Medical Center, and investigators whose primary appointments are based at these sites are eligible for this competition. Details and instructions will be posted on the CTSC website. Please contact the CTSC research concierge with any questions. Investigators at the Cleveland Clinic have access to internal pilot funds for clinical and translational research through the RPC Program. Information and details can be found on the Lerner Research Institute website. Click "Apply" on the right sidebar for the on-line application.
