Zinc-UK meeting, London, December 2015

Another fantastic Zinc-UK meeting!

The Pitt and Stewart labs attended the Zinc-UK meeting, London 2015 and would like to thank Dr Imre Lengyel and Dr Elisa Bellomo for putting together such an exciting programme.

Dr Samantha Pitt would like to thank the organisers for giving her the opportunity to talk about the lab’s latest research and gave a talk entitled “Zinc unmasks a new player in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium leak”.

Well done to Ben and Gavin who both presented their work at this meeting. Ben gave an oral presentation entitled “The role of zinc in regulating intracellular calcium release” and Gavin presented a poster entitled “A novel role for Zn2+ in modulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release in skeletal muscle”.

The Pitt lab would like to thank the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the BHF for supporting this research.
