p53 Workshop in Japan
The p53 Workshop in Japan took place during the ConBio2017 in Kobe and was co-organised by MaRCU and Rieko Ohki from the National Cancer Center Japan.
Thank you all for coming! I hope you enjoyed the amazing talks as much as we did. Special thanks to ConBio2017 and invited speakers Sir David Lane (A*STAR), Masanobu Oshima (Kanazawa U) and Kanaga Sabapathy (National Cancer Center Singapore). Here are some of the photos. See you again soon!

Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) discovered in the mRNA of mammalian Target Of Rapamycin (mTOR)
The mRNA Metabolism group (Romão lab), together with MaRCU and Locker lab (UK), describe a new IRES (Internal Ribosome Entry Site) in the 5’UTR of mTOR mRNA that is required to resume cell-cycle progression following periods of cell starvation and global translational repression.
