Time 9:00 AM - 6:30 PM on 11 Nov, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM on 12 Nov AEDT
Location Bio21 Molecular Science & Biotechnology Institute 30 Flemington Rd, Parkville, VIC 2052, Australia
The Australian Research Council funded Centre, Centre for Cryo-electron Microscopy of Membrane Proteins (CCeMMP), is hosting a free in-person 2024 Research Symposium to showcase the exciting research and technological advances in the field of cryo-electron microscopy and membrane proteins and will feature keynote presentations from both academia and industry. CCeMMP invite the scientific community to attend and participate in the symposium on the 11th and 12th of November in Melbourne, Australia.
This year, CCeMMP are excited to welcome two keynote speakers presenting their cutting edge research.
Professor Renae Ryan
Renae Ryan is a Professor of Biochemical Pharmacology at the University of Sydney, Australia. She received her PhD from the University of Sydney in 2004 and completed postdoctoral work with at Columbia University and the National Institutes of Health (NINDS). Renae returned to the University of Sydney in 2007 where she leads a research team that investigates the molecular mechanisms of neurotransmitter and amino acid transporters and their role in cancer and neurological diseases, such as episodic ataxia. She has received several awards for scientific excellence, mentoring and outreach including the Nancy Millis Medal from the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Mentoring of Young Researchers. Renae is a globally respected leader and advocate for gender equity, diversity and inclusion, and a sought-after supervisor, mentor, and role model for women in science.
Assistant Professor Oliver Clarke
Oliver Clarke is an Assistant Professor of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics (in Anesthesiology and the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research) at Columbia University. He obtained his PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2011, supervised by Jacqui Gulbis and Brian Smith at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, where he found a passion for membrane protein structural biology. He joined the group of Wayne Hendrickson for his postdoctoral work (2012-2017), where he applied single-particle cryo-EM to understand the architecture and gating of the mammalian ryanodine receptor calcium release channel, before starting his own lab at Columbia in late 2017 focused on the molecular architecture of membrane protein complexes purified from native tissues.
