ℹ️Are you a UK undergrad who wants to take 12 months off FULLY PAID to do research The Francis Crick Institute ? 🦠Interested in virology? (or one of the other great projects?) 🗓️Apply by 5th October 👉crick.ac.uk/careers-study/… 1/3

Researchers from Semmelweis University, along with scientists from all over Europe, are on a mission to speed up the diagnosis of the debilitating disease that affects nearly 200 million women worldwide. Read more: semmelweis.hu/english/2023/0…

A clear example of what Athene Donald discussed today @MRC_LMB about why we need & must support women in STEM. More women may be choosing to go into biology but currently very few are able to stay & progress in the field. Tiszta szívből gratulálunk Katalin Kariko.

Excited to share my PhD work from the McEwan Lab, published today! We found that type-I interferons exacerbate tau pathology, potentially linking upstream inflammation with downstream protein aggregation 🧠🦠: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… @w_mcewan UK Dementia Research Institute 🧵below:

1/ We are excited to report in nature the discovery that human inborn errors of the alternative NF-κB pathway-dependent immunity underlie the development of auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs (rdcu.be/dqBBU).

Congratulations to @Hakan_Guney_HG Karthika Nagalekshmi Sean McCauley, Claudia Carbone, and Ozkan Aydemir for discovery of the Pattern Recognition Receptor that detects unspliced RNA expressed from the HIV-1 provirus UMass Chan Medical School UMass Molecular Medicine @MassCPR biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Last chance to apply for our widening participation work experience scheme ISAC/M, run with MRC MBU & St Catharine's College If you are, or know of, a yr 12 student interested in a career in biomed sciences or medicine, & are in the Cambs area, details here: cimr.cam.ac.uk/isacm-2024

🧪🌿Enjoy my lab glassware garden!🌿🧪 🌱I rescued the glassware from the trash!🌱

We are very proud of this contribution to understanding the process of HIV nuclear import. It is particularly meaningful to me as one of two female first authors, as it was completed during the pregnancy & birth of my son & it celebrates over a decade working with Dave.

I can't let this go. I get very annoyed when established researchers that we ask for support in DEI efforts tell me to make sure I focus on research. That research is the most important thing. This common comment tells me multiple things. A thread (1/9)

Publishing negative results is good for science My latest Editorial for Microbiology Society Access Microbiology, as part of their Negative Results collection. microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Lab representation on the #Microbio24 by @AnnaAlbecka and TRIM21 talk today and Boglárka Anna Vámos with poster B433 on non-canonical aa incorporation into HIV. Don't miss!

Had a lovely time in gorgeous Edinburgh catching up with everyone & their science #Microbio2024 special thanks to all who came to talk about HIV & unnatural amino acid incorporation into viral proteins

Thank you @Cambridgepride for a fun day and parade despite the rain. It was great to hang out with our group from the @MRC_LMB in our decorated lab coats! Can’t wait for next year! 🏳️‍🌈

For 25 years, the Toll-like Receptor pathway was considered a series of distinct protein complexes that drive inflammation. Today, we report that the entire pathway, from receptor to transcription factor, is executed from within one complex—the myddosome. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Super excited to share our latest paper on a novel targeted protein degradation technology, now out in Cell. We introduce RING-Bait technology, an innovative approach to selectively target and degrade intracellular protein aggregates (1/7) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

New study from the lab! Charged rings in the mature HIV capsid protein are required for formation of conical capsids: nature.com/articles/s4146…
