Startups are the best way to make a real impact with research. But how do you get started? We’re hosting events at Edinburgh, Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester, Newcastle, and Warwick to dive into the scientist-to-founder journey and how deep tech companies get started. 👇

Very cool paper taking long genes encoding multidomain proteins from PKS clusters and breaking into smaller units for transcription/translation to give massive increase in productivity in heterologous expression hosts where mRNA was being truncated. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I have a PhD available via the YBDTP scheme looking at host glycan cross-feeding in the human gut microbiota. What networks does this underpin? What metabolites are produnced? and how would this ultimately impact the host (humans) #glycotime: From findaphd.com📷

Yesterday, after 34+ years of excellence in teaching & research, Dr Julian Knight gave his last organic chemistry lecture at Newcastle. Then this happened...😍 Thanks so much to Julian, and all the staff and students that turned out to wish him well in his retirement! #WeAreNCL

🚨 Exciting news! 🚨 ASM welcomes new Editors-in-Chief for our journals starting July 1! 👏 Join us in thanking our outgoing leaders & congratulating Romney Humphries, Marvin Whiteley, Ashley Shade and Ira Blader! Read more: asm.org/Press-Releases…

This should be a fascinating lecture tonight at the ypsyork ypsyork.org/events/why-can… Come and support us & learn about some of the work of Professor Thomas Hughes at York St John University. York St John University Biology at York

🌟 Today, on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the amazing women of AVERT project 🧫🔬🧪🥼 who are driving innovation and discovery every day! 🌍🔬 Join us in recognizing their hard work and achievements! 💡👏 #WomenInScienceDay

Happy to have this deep dive into polysaccharide family 33 out: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We define features driving substrate specificity, catalytic mechanism, and evolutionary links with multiple lyases and epimerises #glycotime PNASNews

PNASNews We show that the length of the catalytic tunnel determine substrate specificity; longer tunnels restrict activity to beta linked substrates whilst shorter tunnels allow activity on mix linked alpha and beta substrates. Some enzymes with very open tunnels are promiscuous.

"I'm developing lanmodulin-based biosensors that can detect rare earth elements. My aim is to see how far we can push the selectivity of these sensors to individual rare earth elements. This could hopefully be used towards improving the efficiency of REE extraction processes in

New paper alert! Thoughtful review of phase variation, including current controversies. Microbiology Society microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Today, we are in sunny Cambridge discussing the progress of our Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research #sLoLa project

Nice little write up on MORF db delivering a browser-based solution for Luke Mackinder to deliver the results of their awesome CyanoTag project - have a play with the data! #gettingMORFromyourdata york.ac.uk/biology/about/…

New paper alert! Insight, including genomic analyses, in to Staphylococcal diversity on NHP skin. Microbiology Society David Negus microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.
