Two first class students now with first class MSc distinctions!! Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics

Thrilled to announce our latest preprint where we characterise the GLP-1R missense variant A316T in vivo in a humanised GLP-1R knock-in mouse and resolve the cryo-EM structure of the variant receptor. Many thanks to Diabetes UK for funding this study. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Absolutely thrilled to have received funding from the SMF-DUK #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge to work with the awesome Prashant Srivastava and Dr. Teresa Rodriguez-Calvo (DVM, PhD) and in collaboration with Rocio Sancho Lab to look at how my favourite molecules, microRNAs, behave differently between beta-cells (1/2)

Many congratulations to our very own Affiong I Oqua who passed her PhD viva today! Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics Metabolism, Digestion & Reproduction

Very proud to share the results of a fantastic collaboration led by the brilliant @NejcHaberman and Boris Lenhard, shedding more light on the characteristics and mechanisms that lead to the generation of 3'UTR-derived mRNAs

We are recruiting a postdoctoral research associate! Have a look at the flyer and/or the links below and get in touch if you have any questions! And please, share widely!! imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…

New version of the preprint now in BioRxiv: In vivo functional profiling and structural characterisation of the human Glp1r A316T variant biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A postdoctoral position is available in my lab Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics Metabolism, Digestion & Reproduction to study the subcellular organisation of signalling of the glucagon receptor family.

Our collaboration with the talented Sarah Rouse Imperial Life Sciences now out in bioRxiv: "Human class B1 GPCR modulation by plasma membrane lipids" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to now be a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)! Thanks to the Imperial College London STAR team and Aida Martinez-Sanchez Lab and Alejandra Tomás Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics

Congratulations to Liliane Eleid, PhD who successfully passed her PhD viva yesterday! Here are some pictures of the post-viva celebrations. Many thanks to Prof David Hodson David Hodson and Dr Bryn Owen Bryn Owen for assessing her thesis and to David for his visit and Seminar.

Our Section joined the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism Networking Day on Tuesday 1st July - a day packed with Science, Career advice and other fun activities! Metabolism, Digestion & Reproduction

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.
