TOronto Ubiquitin Club And Network [TOUCAN]
TOUCAN is a Toronto-wide (bi-)monthly meeting of folks interested in all things Ubiquitin started in Feb. 2013. There are more than a dozen labs in Greater Toronto Area working in the field of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins. We have complementary interests and technologies. TOUCAN aims to bring scientists together and to promote collaboration by sharing research progresss and knowledge. TOUCAN is proudly sponsored by SGC and UbpBio, a ubiquitin company based on Colorado. Please contact <yufeng.tong at utoronto.ca > if you want to know more details or to be added to mail list for future event notice.
