The Royal Society Theo Murphy International Scientific Meeting Quantumcoherent energy transfer: implications for biology and new energy technologies was one of the last scientific meetings attended by Bob Silbey, who died on 27 October 2011. As always, he brought his combination of erudition, clear thinking, wit and general good humour to Chicheley Hall. Here, a mixed group of experimentalists ...

Robert Insall

Robert Insall was born in London in 1965, into a family of architects, musicians and historians. To their great surprise, he was obviously scientifically inclined from an early age. He did a B.A. at Cambridge University, then stuck around in Cambridge for a Ph.D., where he got interested in Dictyostelium, followed by a postdoc in Johns Hopkins, where he got interested in chemotaxis and cell mov...

We are investigating the signal transduction mechanisms by which extracellular hydrophilic hormones activate genes. We use Dictyostelium discoideum as a model eukaryote because it is relatively easy to perform reverse genetics on this organism and it is also capable of development. We had earlier shown that extracellular cAMP behaves as a hydrophilic
