Only 9 years to go from today, until AI cures all disease 🚀 🚀🚀
Really looking forward to it!
Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Very cool probe to label doublet MTs and therefore centrioles across different species and set ups (from live imaging, STED and expansion)!😍

On April 19, 1898, Camillo Golgi first described what we now call the Golgi apparatus - a structure so striking and unusual that it took more than 50 years for scientists to accept it wasn’t just an artefact.
April 19 is #GolgiDay! Celebrate the cell’s most iconic and best organelle.
I am so excited to share our new findings with you! We provide the structural evidence for a direct protein-to-DNA information pathway, showing how a bacterial enzyme 'reads' its own structure to 'write' DNA. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Degradation of aromatic compounds, including BTEX pollutants, requires highly endergonic aromatic ring reduction. Using #cryoEM and in situ #cryoET, we show how BCRII couples electron bifurcation modules in one giant redox machine

Congratulations to our Head of Department, @mjafreeman.bsky.social, awarded the @biochemsoc.bsky.social Centenary Award!
This recognises his contributions in the field of intramembrane proteases and pseudoproteases, and his commitment to supporting talent within the scientific community.
Dr Tom Deegan from University of Edinburgh awarded The Colworth Medal by The Biochemical Society 2027 Awards.
Congratulations to Tom Deegan who receives the Colworth Medal in 2027! Pioneering work from the Deegan Lab has redefined our understanding of eukaryotic DNA replication and provided conceptual and technical frameworks that continue to drive new discoveries across molecular biology.

Bridging the gap between biochemistry and developmental biology, we are excited to announce Laura Lorenzo Orts as a recipient of an Early Career Research Award in 2027! Laura's new lab focusses on understanding the mechanisms that activate mRNAs during early development.
The Biochemical Society 2027 Centenary Award presented to Professor Matthew Freeman from University of Oxford, UK.
A leader in the cell biology of signalling, the 2027 Centenary Award is presented to Matthew Freeman in recognition of his pioneering discoveries into the biological significance and mechanisms of rhomboid intramembrane proteases and pseudoprotease and unwavering commitment to mentorship!

A surface rendered view of an endosome. The endosome surface is rendered in blue with dimples on it. In specific regions of the endosomal surface, clusters of proteins are seen as aggregates of blobs, coloured in yellow and red.
🚨New paper out today in @acs.org ACS Nano, showing how expansion microscopy can visually quantify the cell surface receptor turnover mediated by signalling & receptor organising machineries on the surfaces of endosomes, some of the smallest organelles in cells. 🧪 🔬 1/ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The cartwheel was first visualized ~70 years ago in the symbiont Trichonympha in the wood termite gut. We’ve discovered the cartwheel’s secret: a unique zigzag stacking of SAS-6 tetramers that facilitates the iconic 9-fold symmetry of cilia.

One of biggest mysteries in biology: how did complex eukaryotic cells evolve from simple microbes? ~1.8 billion years ago, an archaeal cell likely merged with a bacterium to form the first eukaryotic cell, but can we ever find direct evidence of this transformative event? 🦠 🚶♂️

Our paper is out today! See this news article on it. Asgard archea have some cool proteins. If you are interested in protein evolution it’s a really exciting space.
