Drug repurposing represents a promising approach to find new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. This two-day meeting will provide a platform to highlight some of the latest developments in the field of drug repurposing.
There is a need for more systematic and strategic approaches and resources, and this meeting wants to highlight and showcase such efforts besides recent drug repurposing studies.
The field of drug repurposing provides a natural opportunity to combine the strengths of the academic and industrial field. Therefore, we encourage scientists from both sectors, as well as clinicians, to attend this meeting and use it as a networking opportunity and an interdisciplinary forum for discussion.

New research by a Nottingham academic linking the neurodegenerative disease Parkinson’s to changes in a protein in brain mitochondria is to receive support from a prestigious US funding agency. Dr Lisa Chakrabarti, at The University of Nottingham, will receive $75,000 for a one-year research project from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), which is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s and funds promising research that could result in new treatments to slow, stop or reverse the progression of the disease. Dr Chakrabarti said: “We are trying to look at mitochondrial biology from a totally different perspective, which could have important implications for Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. The funding from The Michael J. Fox Foundation will help us to confirm whether some of the protein changes we see in Parkinson’s are related to disease course.” http://exchange.nottingham.ac.uk/research/parkinsons-study-receives-fu...

Nial O'Boyle - The scientists in the lab - a series

                                 Nial O'Boyle -BBSRC DTP Scholar I’m from Northern Ireland and grew up on a mixed livestock farm. Qualified as a vet around 20 years ago and I’ve spent 10 years working in the UK, mainly dairy practice, and also spent 10 years in the USA, managing large dairy farms and beef feedlots. I’m interested in learning more about metabolic physiology in the dairy cow. My interests have transitioned to keeping up with the interests of my 4 kids, which range from Anime to football. I have retired from most team sports now, but reluctantly train for the odd marathon.

Meeting the Guy Foundation

  From left to right: Peter Hobson, Alistair Nunn, Alister Davis, Niall Holmes, Ifigeneia  Kalampouka, Rhys Mould, Geoffrey Guy, Alasdair Mackenzie, Mark Fromhold, Lisa  Chakrabarti, Frankie Rawson and Melissa Mather On Tuesday February 6th this year Geoffrey Guy and people from his foundation came to visit us in Nottingham. the meeting had been arranged with our great collaborator in Engineering, Melissa Mather (on the right of the photo above). Geoff had met Mel at a House of Commons showcase where her poster describing our work on quantum biology and mitochondria caught his interest. Frankie Rawson (right back) talked about his work on quantum tunnelling, Mark Fromhold (next to Frankie) presented his interests in gravitational and magnetic fields. And Nial Holmes (in the centre of Einstein's blackboard!) was able to show our visitors his magnetic shielding facility. Our meeting was held in the Physics department at University Park Campus. The room contains a blackboar...
