If you have an event or funding opportunities you'd like to advertise, please contact us info_at_dknet.org.
dkNET Updates:
- New research tools added to dkNET
Chemoproteomic identification and therapeutic validation of proteins of metabolic significance (RRID: SCR_015847) is a database portal for a project that aims to discover and characterize new molecular pathways that can be targeted pharmacologically to revert obesity-linked adipocyte defects that drive systemic insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. It works to identify in tandem physiologically-relevant proteins and chemical tools in order to expedite their functional annotation and therapeutic validation.
CalR (RRID:SCR_015849) is a web application for indirect calorimetry analysis. CalR generates customizable time, bar and regression plots for calorimetry data using two-, three-, and four-group templates.
Alliance of Genome Resources (RRID:SCR_015850) is an organization that aims to develop and maintain sustainable genome information resources to promote understanding of the genetic and genomic basis of human biology, health, and disease. The Alliance is composed of FlyBase, Mouse Genome Database (MGD), the Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC), Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD), Rat Genome Database (RGD), WormBase, and the Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN).

Early bird registration deadline: 2018 JDRF nPOD 10th Annual Scientific Meeting
The Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) is proud to host its 10th Annual Meeting at The Diplomat Beach Resort, February 20-23, 2018. Over the past eleven years, JDRF nPOD has made remarkable strides in terms of meeting its organizational goals. Key amongst these include seeing its investigators make discoveries that help answer the question of, “What causes type 1 diabetes?” We anticipate the 2018 meeting will continue to foster meaningful collaborations towards that goal through directed topic presentations and discussions.

Dec. 1, 2017
Funding Opportunity Application Deadline: Autoimmune Liver Diseases Pilot Research Award
The purpose of this one year, $20,000 award is to provide supplementary funding during the pilot phase of basic, translational or clinical research projects in autoimmune liver disease (e.g. autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis) in preparation for future grant applications by the recipient. Projects should address focused research questions pertaining to the pathogenesis, diagnosis, management or outcome of autoimmune liver diseases in children and adults.

Funding Opportunity Letter of Intent Due Date: HIRN New Investigator Pilot Award
The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) is announcing a competitive New Investigator Pilot Award. The goal of this award is to support a small number of new investigators of exceptional creativity who propose to apply bold and highly innovative new research approaches to biological problems under current investigation in HIRN. The HIRN New Investigator Pilot Award is designed to provide support for early career investigators who may need funding to explore feasibility of a new concept in support of an eventual R01 application. The research proposed must be relevant to the goals of HIRN consortia. Application Due Date: January 15, 2018. Contact the HIRN Coordinating Center (CC) at hirncc@coh.org.
