Journal Club July Video Available

July 28th saw us run the third Journal Club, where we discussed a recent research publication. Journal Club is a monthly event livestreamed to our Facebook page and runs thanks to the support of our patrons – The Lifespan Heroes.

Unfortunately, we had some technical issues with this stream and could not broadcast it live as we usually do, so we recorded the show offline. In this episode we discuss the following paper:

Fulcher, L. J., Hutchinson, L. D., Macartney, T. J., Turnbull, C., & Sapkota, G. P. (2017). Targeting endogenous proteins for degradation through the affinity-directed protein missile system. Open Biology, 7(5), 170066.
