Co-founders and partners of the Centre of Excellence CIPKeBiP

The Centre of Excellence CIPKeBiP will connect 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 is coordinated by the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular and Structural Biology at JSI. Five academic and five industrial groups are participating in the Centre, thereby providing an important link between academia and industry. The contract with MVZT was signed in 2010.

Regulation of cysteine proteases cathepsins B, S and K and their role in inflammatory processes

In this doctoral dissertation Urška Požgancritically evaluated the role of cysteine cathepsins and metalloproteases in some inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Although in COBISS 2009 can be found as the date of the thesis, the actual defence was in the the beginning of 2010. In adition, Špela Konjar also successfully defended her PhD thesis in 2010.
