PDF file: EURASNET Annual Report 2008

The stable cell lines have been tested and evaluated for suitability in an automatedfluorescence microscopy based screening platform based on the positive results a date in thefirst half of 2009 for performing an in-vivo screen for splice con.Angus Lamond and Paul Ajuh continued the development of Dundee Cell Products (DCP), aspin-out venture from the University of Dundee that manufactures and sells RNA splicingreagents and cell fractions and extracts. DCP has supplied reagents to other Eurasnet groups.DCP has set up a custom antibody production capability for polyclonal and monoclonalantibodies and offered this service to Eurasnet groups.WP21Angus Lamond has participated in regular interactions with European research groups outsideof the Eurasnet network, particularly in the development of advanced quantitative massspectrometry based proteomics techniques used to analyse protein interactions, proteinlocalisation and protein turnover. This includes collaborations with the groups of Dr MatthiasMann (MPI, Munich), Dr Jens Andersen (University of Southern Denmark, Odense) and DrEmma Lundberg (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden).WP22Angus Lamond has participated in the ongoing activities of the steering committee andmanagement of the EURASNET network.b) Major cost items with justificationParticipant 22 Type of expenditure Budget total costspersonnel 39,043.99consumables 15,627.20training 0equipment 0Travel 0= total direct costs 54,671.19+ overhead 10,934.24= total eligible costs 65,605.42Major cost items• ResearchPersonnelAndrea Pawellek [WP 20] 1790 hours 39,043.99 EuroConsumables15,627.20 EuroTravel• IntegrationEURASNET PI Meeting, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Berlin, Germany, 20 to 21 Jan 2008Annual Workshop Poland , 21 to 23 May 200813 th Annual RNA Society Meeting in Berlin, 28 July to 3 August 2008EURASNET PI Meeting, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Berlin, Germany, 20 to 21 Jan 2008• DisseminationAnnual Workshop Poland , 21 to 23 May 200813 th Annual RNA Society Meeting in Berlin, 28 July to 3 August 2008180
