How
do I apply for the Drewry Award? (MB students only)
The Drewry awardee is chosen from amongst the Major
Award winners. Applicants for a Major Award will automatically
be eligible for consideration for the Drewry.
Will
there be internet access on-site?
Yes, internet access will be provided to all CSHRF participants through
the courtesy of the Neil John MacLean Health Sciences Library. Specific information will be provided at the Information booth.
Will there be wireless access at the forum?
Yes, participants will be able to access their wireless using Eduroam.
What is Eduroam?
Eduroam (education roaming) is a roaming wireless access service developed for the international research and education community. It allows students, faculty and staff from participating institutions to securely access the Internet when visiting other participating institutions using their home credentials.
How to use Eduroam?
Please visit the Eduroam website for instructions on how to get set up.
What's
the catch… how can all this good stuff really be free?
Our sponsors,
and most notably the CIHR,
know the importance of recognizing excellent research trainees in the
Health Sciences, providing a venue for their interaction and making
it accessible. Please thank them for their valuable support (without
it, this would not be possible)!

Introduction: Lacking independent metabolism, viruses require a host cell to provide necessary components for replication…
Methods: The SILAC method allows for a more complete determination of the cell's proteome. 293 cells were adapted
into different SILAC media and infected with the TIL strain of reovirus at MOI of 7 PFU/cell.
Infected cells were harvested…
Results: The 2-D LC/MS method identified 3001 and 3079 proteins, respectively, from the 6 and 24hpi T1Linfected
samples – approximately 3-fold more than were identified by the SDS-PAGE method. 356 proteins were found to be…
Conclusion: SILAC is an effective way of generating an overview of the host cell and viral interactions, which can lead
to particular host cell pathways that are spe… |
