SCSB Crystallography News

An important follow-on paper to Emily Scott's (James Halpert, PI) original PNAS cytochrome P450 2B4 paper has been published in JBC. Congratulations to Emily and her co-workers. We wish Emily all the best in her new position on the faculty of the University of Kansas. Well Done!

User Training

The SCSB staff is always ready and happy to train your students, post-docs and technicians in the correct use of the SCSB Instrumentation. They will also pick-up a few helpful hints along the way also. The support of the SCSB and the assistance by the staff member(s) should be acknowledged in any publications.

Mentoring

If you do not have the expertise to perform certain types of research the SCSB staff or faculty may be able to mentor your graduate student or post-doc as a collaborative project. Mentoring requires a significant commitment by both the mentor and student learning a new field of research. The Mentor should be co-author on any publications resulting from the student's research project. The support of the SCSB should be acknowledged in any publications.

Collaborations

Please contact any SCSB researcher (PI) or Core Manager to discuss possible collaborate research projects. Of course such projects are at the discretion and time-restraints of the collaborator. The Collaborator should be an author on any publications resulting from the collaborative research project. The support of the SCSB should be acknowledged in any publications.
