NVBMB Speaker of the year Jue Chen, Dutch Chromatin Meeting, and NVBMB fall meeting.

We are proud to announce the lecture series of our speaker of the year Dr. Jue Chen (Rockefeller University). Dr. Chen studies the structure of proteins that use energy to transport solutes across cell membranes. Determining how such transporters work will aid in understanding the basic mechanisms of active transport. Her research centers on structural and mechanistic studies of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.

Later this month, Dr. Jue Chen will give three lectures in The Netherlands about:

Structural insights into Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) dysfunction and pharmacological rescue

Mon Sep 26, 13-14h. Univ of Groningen
Tue Sep 27, 16-17h Univ of Utrecht
Fri Sep 30, 15:30-16:30 Univ of Leiden

We are delighted to invite you to the 19^th Dutch Chromatin Meeting on 27 October 2022 at the Leiden University Medical Centre. The main goal of this meeting is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge and to foster scientific interaction and cooperation between the various Dutch research groups studying chromatin structure and function.

The attendance of this meeting is free-of-charge but registration before September 19 is required.

Dr. Nico Claassens, recipient of the NVBMB Prize 2022, will organize the next NVBMB fall meeting:

The expanding world of biological one-carbon fixation - made by nature & engineers

Monday December 5, 2022 at Wageningen University.

The links to the program and registration can be found on our web site. Students and Postdocs can select the option to submit an abstract to present a poster. The meeting is free of charge but registration is required.

The NVBMB prize is handed out to a highly talented young independent biochemist or molecular biologist working in the Netherlands. The prize amounts to €2000 and includes additional funds to organize a one-day scientific meeting on a topic that meets the field of interest of the candidate.

Nominees for the NVBMB prize need to have at least two years of post-doctoral experience with preferable experience abroad. Nominations are judged on scientific quality, publication track record, productivity, creativity, and international experience and visibility.

Nominations for the NVBMB prize 2023 should be sent by email to the secretary of the NVBMB, dr. Hugo van Ingen (nvbmb@kncv.nl) before December 31st, 2022.
