ANNOUNCEMENTS
As we have done for the past few years, the individual PubMed "collections" of the papers appearing in each issue of TRIGGER for 2013 have now been consolidated into a single collection.  (The individual PubMed collections for each TRIGGER issue in 2013 have, accordingly, been deleted.)  Here are the links to the consolidated collections for the past five years:

2009 (301 references):

2010 (531 references):

2011 (612 references):

UPCOMING MEETINGS EVENTS
7th Symposium on Hemostasis: Old System, New Players, New Directions May 15-17, 2014 at the Carolina Inn, Chapel Hill, NC, USA The focus will include the latest findings related to tissue factor, coagulation proteases and their role in hemostasis and thrombosis, as well as interplay between coagulation and inflammation. Important new research on novel approaches for treating bleeding in hemophilia and trauma induced coagulopathy, animal models of bleeding and thrombosis and activation of coagulation in disease will also be presented.

Invited faculty are the world's formost basic scientists and clinicians working in the field of tissue factor biology, coagulation and hemostasis. 
Registration is now OPEN:

POSITIONS SOUGHT/AVAILABLE 
A postdoctoral position is offered as part of the Novo Nordisk R&D STAR Programme (Science, Talent, Attraction and Recruitment). This program supports the brightest graduate students in biotechnology, life, medical and engineering sciences, who want to pursue a career in pharmaceutical R&D.

About the department:  Translational Haemophilia Pharmacology is offering an international Postdoc fellowship to a highly motivated and ambitious candidate. Translational Haemophilia Pharmacology is a research unit focusing on research and development of drug candidates for the treatment of haemophilia; we support the Novo Nordisk haemophilia portfolio with knowledge generated in animal models of haemophilia.

The Job:  The project will first focus on optimizing and validating a thrombin generation assay for use with samples from dogs, prior to and after therapeutic intervention. Subsequently the assay will be used to predicting the bleeding phenotype and response to treatment in dogs with haemophilia A and B as a model for human haemophilia. The project is conducted in close collaboration with leading researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The starting date is February 1, 2014 or later, and the position is on a temporary contract. Part of the PostDoc project will take place at Translational Haemophilia Pharmacology in Måløv, Denmark and the other part in the lab of Dr. Tim Nichols in close collaboration with Dr. Alisa Wolberg at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Travel expenses between the US and Denmark will be reimbursed by Novo Nordisk.

The candidate will become part of two laboratories located in high impact centers of excellence within haemophilia and thus exposed to world class science and in addition serve as a liaison between the University of Chapel Hill and Novo Nordisk A/S.

Qualifications:  You hold a PhD in medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacology, biology or related disciplines. Solid knowledge on in vivo research in general and haemostasis research in particular is desirable. Experience with haemophilia research is considered an advantage. We require very good communication skills in English.

At Novo Nordisk your skills, dedication, and ambition help us change lives for the better. In exchange we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.

For further information, please call Bo Wiinberg on +45 3075 3030.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS ON TISSUE FACTOR, FACTOR VII, AND TFPI
Papers are culled from NLM MedLine (PubMed). Titles in square brackets indicate that the paper was not published in English. References that lack volume or page numbers are typically electronic pre-publications (E-pubs) ahead of the print publication; if so, the final citation with volume and page numbers may or may not appear in a future issue of Trigger.
