Steve Oliver, who I met at the EuroFung Aspergillus annotation meeting, is interested to initiate a GO transport meeting to look at some aspects of function and process. He is now based in Cambridge and we have agreed that now is a good time for us to look at doing the work. I am in contact to try to figure out a good time to visit.


18th January 2008

I visited Steve Oliver at the Biochemistry Department (new building) on Tennis Court Road. I gave him a tour of the new high level terms and he was impressed with what we have done so far. We talked about how annotation should work where drugs are being transported by transporters that normally transport non-drug solutes and I explained about our plan to structure the graph along chemical structure lines, rather than have people annotate to 'xenobiotic transporter activity' or 'drug transporter activity'. He said that would work best for them too. He has a colleague called Paul Dobson who has recently completed a review of the transporters and Steve is wondering if Paul would be prepared to work with us to update the terms, as his knowledge is now completely up to date. He is going to ask on Monday 20th when he visits him in Manchester. There is another colleague called Andre Goffeau who might also help. I have searched for Paul Dobson's review but it doesn't show up in searches so I don't think it can be in print yet. It is in one of the nature review journals.

Steve Oliver wrote to say that he has spoken to Paul Dobson (paul.dobson AT manchester.ac.uk), the post-doc in Manchester to discuss our ideas.

He is also interested in possibly holding the next EuroFung annotation jamboree at the EBI. I wrote back to say that all of this sounded excellent, and would he like some information on costings for the jamboree. I explained about all the infrastructure that we have set up to support this kind of thing.

I am now in correspondance with Paul Dobson and am reading his review paper on drug transport. 'Carrier-mediated cellular uptake of pharmaceutical drugs: an exception or the rule?' Paul is a bioinformatician who has been reading a huge number of papers to write this review and so is very up to date. He is currently on a transition between grants, but is going to get back to me soon.
