DESCRIPTION:Friday 21 November\, 13:00 - 14:00\n\nSpeaker: Helen Walden\, 
 University of Glasgow\n\nTalk Title: Understanding Parkin’s E3 Ligase Ac
 tivity\n\nBiography: Helen obtained her BSc in Biochemistry from the Unive
 rsity of Bath in 1998. She then moved to the University of St Andrews for 
 her PhD\, investigating the structural basis of protein hyperthermostabili
 ty. In 2001\, she moved to Memphis\, Tennessee for a postdoc in the newly-
 established lab of Brenda Schulman at St Jude's Children's Research Hospit
 al. It was here that Helen developed her interest in the mechanisms of ubi
 quitination\, solving the structure of the E1 for Nedd8. In 2005\, Helen m
 oved to the Lincoln's Inn Fields Laboratories of CRUK’s London Research 
 Institute (now Francis Crick Institute)\, to establish her own group. Afte
 r tenure\, Helen moved to the MRC-Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit 
 at the University of Dundee from 2013\, and in 2017 relocated her lab to t
 he University of Glasgow as Professor of Structural Biology. Helen was a m
 ember of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme from 2011 to 2014\, and rec
 eived the Colworth medal from the Biochemical Society in 2015\, and in 201
 6 she received an ERC Consolidator award.
