Great to attend the always wonderful #UKMT2024 meeting last week. Thanks to the organisers and speakers for a fantastic #membranetrafficking programme @bscb-official.bsky.social

Amazing experience presenting at #UKMT2024 our proximity proteomics data (@peterjcullen1.bsky.social lab) in collaboration with @brettcollins.bsky.social and Kai-en Chen!
Thanks @jezcarlton.bsky.social and Chris Stefan!

And it’s a wrap! Thanks all for a great #UKMT2024 fantastic speakers, great atmosphere, passable sandwiches and a lovely party. Thanks to co-organiser Chris Stefan, our sponsors @jcellsci.bsky.social and #BSCB. Many congrats to our J Cell Sci prize winners Katy Yalci and @alex-van-vliet.bsky.social!

And the Dublin contingent is rolling out from the #UKMT2024 😋🤓 time for a long ol commute home :’)

A huge thank you to @jezcarlton.bsky.social and Chris Stefan for organising such a great meeting! Full of lots of ideas and a reenergised love of this field ❤️

Yes huge FOMO but couldn’t avoid clinic. At least following #UKMT2024 helped, plus my lab all along in person!

Finally, to finish #UKMT2024: plenary seminar from Daniel St Johnston!

Tackling the complexity of polarised secretion in epithelial cells (not easy).

Beautiful imaging combined with the RUSH system in Drosophila follicle cells, showing different Golgi trafficking routes of distinct cargoes.

Next up #UKMT2024, more endosomes (yay) 🤓

Shubhangi Sharma from Jitu Mayor’s lab with some great insights into how membrane tension drives less conventional endocytic processes and @agudocanalejo.bsky.social showing cool bending and scission of endosomal membranes driven by condensates.

Love that #UKMT2024 is making a splash here on #BlueSky!!

Hoping to follow along.

🙌🏽

Entering the final session of #UKMT2024 chaired by @jezcarlton.bsky.social (who now cannot live-tweet / live-sky).

Starting with George Bates from Frances Brodsky's lab, talking about alternative splicing of clathrin and trafficking of GLUT4 from an evolutionary perspective.

And now onto @carlosantonplagaro.bsky.social from the Pete Cullen lab using BioID to understand the role of Rabs in fate determination in endosomal sorting - great work, Carlos! #UKMT2024

Now @alex-van-vliet.bsky.social from Sean Munro lab talking about the Nebra sky disc and prehistoric star maps from Stonehenge. Is he at the right conference? Yes, he is! It’s a beautiful depiction of the yeast organellar architecture! Rab binding partners and involvement in autophagy! #UKMT2024

It is great to see a lot of familiar faces at #UKMT2024 in London! A big thank you to Chris Stefan and @jezcarlton.bsky.social for organising and putting together an exciting programme for the day.

#KozikLabUpdates

Hope you all enjoyed the sandwiches! We’re back after lunch and Katy Yalci from @bmcarroll.bsky.social has cool data about a new lipid droplet protein and Blythe Wright from @yorkyeast.bsky.social tells us about how the VPS pathway contributes to neutropenia, using yeast as a model system! #UKMT2024

Okay, now onto membrane damage and repair! Dylan Noone (@doryenbubeck.bsky.social lab) tells us more about how CD59 inhibits the MAC to limit membrane damage, and @patrycja-kozik.bsky.social tells us about a fascinating role for endosomal permeabilisation in cross presentation of antigens! #UKMT2024

Seasion 2 gives us some cool EM and new proteins involved in nuclear envelope remodelling from Thibaud Martial, Milosevic lab, and fab talk about how the flu M2 ion channel traffics to the plasma membrane and controls virion morphology from Carmen Figures Novia, @bealelab.bsky.social #UKMT2024

FOMO for all membrane trafficking aficionados! Session 2 is ongoing! #UKMT2024

Also great insight into Tango1 from Lizzie Lawrence (David Stephens lab) and new interpretations of ERD2 function from Jurgen Denecke. #UKMT2024. Apologies for all missing BlueSky handles!

We had a great first session - beautiful ET of ERES from @dr-downes.bsky.social, fantastic insight into Sec24 control of COP-II vesicle size from Xiaohan Li (@lizmillercu.bsky.social lab) fab speakers, all! #UKMT2024

Yes, #UKMT2024 organised by Chris Stefan and @jezcarlton.bsky.social - the perfect antidote to those with FOMO from ASCB.

Already some amazing research talks 👏👏👏 looking forward to the next sessions!

@jezcarlton.bsky.social already has! It's #UKMT2024

Well, it’s fifty cups of coffee and you know it’s on! #UKMT2024 has started! Looking forward to all the membrane trafficking talks from those not at ASCB!
