The Elongator complex is involved in the addition of 5'-carboxylmethyluridine (cm5U)-derived modifications to transfer RNAs (tRNAs), thereby influencing the translation of certain messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and helping to maintain the integrity of the proteome. This complex is involved in a variety of biological processes, and is of particular importance in oncology. The identification of chemical inhibitors of Elongator is of significant interest in both basic and pharmaceutical research.Through a yeast screen, this work reveals a potential new role for Elongator and identifies a chemical inhibitor of the complex. This compound presents itself as an interesting candidate as a pharmacological inhibitor, opening up new perspectives for the search for anti-cancer therapies.

Colors - where do they come from? Did you know that the color of your favorite red candies was made from little caterpillars? Accompanied by an archaeologist, your children plunge into history as they discover the different materials behind the colors used in paint. They'll be able to try out centuries-old recipes and paint their own illuminations.Fun workshops for kids Workshops with a variety of active pedagogy themes during which your children will develop their sense of observation, analysis and critical thinking through experiments, scientific games and extraordinary discoveries. In practiceWho are the workshops for? The workshops are aimed at children aged between 9 and 12. The number of children per workshop is limited to ensure optimal learning (12 children). The workshop runs if a minimum of 5 children are registered. How do the workshops work? The workshops are held one Wednesday afternoon a month from 2pm to 4pm at the University of Namur. Participation in a workshop costs €5 per child. This price includes supervision, materials and a snack. It is possible to register your children for several or all workshops and thus benefit from an advantageous rate. Reservations close 15 days before the activity date. Please note: preferential rate for children of UNamur staff (discount code: PromoUNamur).Your children are looked after and accompanied by a team of activity leaders. Who organizes the workshops? The workshops are organized by Confluent des Savoirs, UNamur's research outreach and dissemination unit. The team, experts in the transmission of knowledge, works in collaboration with university researchers to offer workshops in which your children question, reflect and experiment while having fun!

The Fête de la Musique à Namur , is just over twenty free concerts from June 20 to 23, all styles of music combined, inviting the public to wander, open-minded and curious, from a cultural venue to a garden, a courtyard, a café terrace or a store, in search of a variety of musical universes, sometimes festive, sometimes more hushed, even singular. It's a grassroots project that aims to recapture the original spirit of the Fête de la Musique: a warm atmosphere, great encounters and spontaneous sharing between musicians and audiences.On June 22, come and discover the Namur-based project Orphée.Freely inspired by the eponymous myth, this Namur-based project reappropriates the story to create an original musical form: halfway between techno, classical, ambient and field recording. It draws its inspiration from both primitive and contemporary electronic music. Electrodes that capture variations in the electrical potential of plants generate experimental, improvised music. Electricity ignites the electronic circuits of the modules, energy exalts the plants and love electrifies Orpheus. The result is unique music, powerfully organic and adventurous.Mix & Live analog visuals by Analog Memory aka François Gustin - Myth of Orpheus adapted by Julie Csik & Benoît VermerThe event is free!More information here.

will take place from September 2 to 6, 2024 at the Gîte du domaine d'Haugimont (owned by the University of Namur) and will deal with medieval manuscripts in their material and historical aspects (parchment and ink manufacture). The event is aimed at historians, archaeologists and researchers in the physical and chemical sciences. Participation is free for doctoral students attached to FNRS doctoral schools in the disciplines concerned. At the crossroads of archaeology, history and the exact sciences, this colloquium-workshop will give the floor to three speakers (a physicist, a chemist and a historian) who will present the interdisciplinary research they are conducting together in this field. Workshops on parchment reproduction, inks and writing materials will be held each day.More information on the event .
