We are excited to launch our new JCS-FocalPlane Microscopy Training Grants. Early-career researchers in cell biology can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to support their attendance at microscopy courses. focalplane.biologists.com/2024/05/01/jcs…

Tell us about your training needs – and enter a prize draw! Our short survey is aimed at gauging current demand for training opportunities and courses in microscopy, imaging and flow cytometry. Complete the survey: rms.org.uk/resource/compl…

To hear about kinetochore gene variants, please come to my talk (flash talks second session) or find me during the poster session. Poster #5 #InternationalSymposiumOnGrnomicInstabilityAndImpactOfGeneticVarwants Queen Mary University of London

And won the second prize!! Thank you so much Viji Draviam for inviting me. It was great being back and meeting everyone 😍 #CIVa #CenterofCellDynamics #QMUL #BrunelUniversityLondon #UKRI

Our latest: An actin-myosin driven exocytic transport mechanism preceding animals? Nice collaborative work led by Eugen Kerkhoff including beautiful choanoflagellate overexpression studies by Aishwarya Ravi out now in Communications Biology. Michael Sars Centre RealfagUiB nature.com/articles/s4200…

Beautiful work! Congratulations Alistair, Deb, Asmahan, Noura, Tobias and Eugen 👏

Pleased to share that our contribution for a collaborative study led by Prof. Eugen Kerkhoff is out! If you’re interested in the evolution of SPIRE and actomyosin transport of exocytic vesicles, go check it out 🤩. Thrilled to have been a part of this research! 👏🏼

Had a great time presenting my latest work at #Actin2024 in Bristol! Thank you Prof Harry Mellor for organising the conference again this year and giving me the opportunity to speak. #BSCB #RMS Now on to attending the #UKmembranetraffickingmeeting2024 in London on Monday!

Our spindle and kinetochore tracker paper is out! The code is available on GitHub - for those who don't like dealing with code SpinX is available via ZEISS Microscopy arivis More on expanding SpinX to crowded environments: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to be presenting @ #biologists100 For pretty movies: flash talk, session=organelle dynamics For interesting data on actin in organelle transport: poster #129

And the poster is up! #129 #biologists100

For anyone who has seen my poster and is interested in looking at the movies, please come to my flash talk “Actin in organelle transport..” When: Organelle Dynamics session, Hall 1C When: 13.30-15.00 #biologists100

We caught up with Allan Carrillo-Baltodano, who acquired this beautiful image of an actinotroch that you can view in our image gallery at #biologists100. Keywords from Allan’s research are #spiralia and #evodev.

Excited to speak on actin & organelle transport @ #BiochemEvent Biochemical Society (Thurs, Session V, OC022) - thanks to BSCB for supporting my trip! Bit of a fiery start (literally, city centre fire 😬), but here’s to a smoother rest of the week.

A must read for young scientists! A career in science requires a thick skin. embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Chengchen Wu presented FRAP-SR at the #mmc2025 workshop on “Optogenetics in the SR regime’. Thanks to RMS for offering the opportunity to host the workshop.

Get out your calendars! The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.
