About the BSP - The Council
Dr Paul Horrocks
Ordinary Council Member
My main research interests focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms that the human malarial parasite employs to control its development through its numerous morphologically distinct stages. Specifically, I am interested in how, and at what molecular level, gene expression is controlled – particularly how groups of genes are co-regulated. In addition, I am also interested in how post-translational modifications of proteins by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLp) affect processes such as gene expression and autophagy. My main undergraduate teaching takes place at the School of Medicine, where I am a Lecturer in Biosciences with additional duties in unit leadership, curriculum development and admissions. I also teach on Masters level courses and supervise PhD projects.

BSP Autumn Symposium - Progress in Paediatric Parasitology
23rd September 2010
The BSP Autumn Symposium 2010 will be held on 23rd -24th September 2010 at Durham University's Queens Campus in Stockton on Tees. Run in conjunction with the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, we are stretching the programme over 2 days beginning after lunch on the 23rd and finishing after lunch on the 24th. This approach is being taken to allow people travelling from a distance to spend just one night away from home whilst being able to attend an evening social event. The talks will be given by invited speakers and we will also run a poster session.
