Organization and leading of the national infrastructural centre for surface plasmon resonance aimed to study the kinetics of molecular interactions. The centre is an integral part of the network of infrastructural centres at the University of Ljubljana.
D.07 Presiding over a centre/laboratory
CIPKeBiP is connecting the top available expertise, knowhow, and technology of Slovenian research laboratories in protein science, thus emphasizing biomedical relevance of the applied project (priority health and life sciences). The Centre includes ten partner institutions from central and northeastern region of Slovenia, among them five industrial entities. We are focused on specific biological issues of high scientific relevance and of high biomedical (infectious diseases, signaling pathways) and environmental (adaption mechanisms of extremofiles) importance.
D.02 Establishment of a research centre, laboratory, study course, association
Gregor Anderluh was named in 2010 for three years as a member of the editorial board of the scientific journal Analytical Biochemistry (ISSN: 0003-2697). He is the only Slovenian and one of the few European researchers in the editorial board. The impact factor of the journal (2012) is 2.582. Analytical Biochemistry is an important journal in the field of analytical chemistry (JCR ranking 26/75) and biochemical research methods (32/75). In the field of biochemistry and molecular biology is ranked 166 of 290 journals. Twenty two numbers are issued annually. Igor Križaj is a member of the Editorial Board of Toxicon (ISSN: 0041-0101) which impact factor (2012) is 2.924. Toxicon is the leading toxinology journal and among the best journals in the field of toxicology (29/85).
C.04 Editorial board of an international magazine
More than 200 people, researchers, experts and students, coming from different fields of life sciences attended the Meeting of the Slovenian Biochemical Society. There was no conference fee for the postgraduate students. The programme was divided into 5 thematic parts: Structure and function of proteins, Molecular basis of disease, Cell signalization and membranes, Biotechnology and bionanotechnology, and System biology and functional genomics. Seventeen distinguished scientists were invited to give talks, of these 10 foreign scientists. Twenty-six young researchers have been selected to present their results in a form of a short talk. Hundred-five participants presented their results on posters. In the scope of the meeting also a round table discussion about challenges in education was organized. Abstracts of works presented during the conference were published in the abstract book (203 pages, ISBN 978-961-91651-8-8).
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 268580864The textbook Amazing forms is a high school biology textbook covering basic anatomic and physiological principles of fungi, plants and animals. The textbook is written in a way students get a comparative insight and learn that same or similar functional solutions are found in organisms which otherwise substantially differ in terms of morphology and their way of life.
