We're recruiting! Come and join us! Bristol Biochemistry is looking to appoint a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Molecular Cell Biology. jobs.ac.uk/job/DFR887/sen…

Bravo! Hope Isobel Needs –final instalment of her trilogy of #mitochondria papers Bristol Biochemistry Massive effort also with Emily Glover (check her pic!) Gonçalo C. Pereira Alina Witt, Wolfgang Hübner, Mark Dodding & Jeremy Henley Funded by Wellcome & Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research rdcu.be/dxCzS

The last of my PhD work is finally out in Nature Communications 🥳 after a huge team effort over several years! Thanks and congrats to all fantastic co-authors Emily Glover Gonçalo C. Pereira Mark Dodding Ian Collinson (who led the show!), Alina Witt, Wolfgang Hübner, and Jeremy Henley!

This is great news to the see the work of our dear friend and colleague David Stephens recognised by the RMS Huge congratulations ! 🥳🥳🥳

If you are interested in joining my group to study how microtubule motors select their cargos (or vice versa) then please see the two adverts below. One is based on neuronal cell biology, the other on reconstitution and cryoEM. nature.com/naturecareers/… nature.com/naturecareers/…

Alexander Fellows, Andrew Carter et al @MRC_LMB show that individual #dynein motors can move the entire axon length during retrograde transport. In the anterograde direction, dynein & dynactin are transported separately, keeping them apart until required. hubs.la/Q02mfsKQ0

Really interesting work from McKenney lab on actin-microtubule crosstalk mediated by kinesin-1 and Nesprin-2G biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great to see our work on manipulating kinesin-1 activity using protein design led by Jessica Cross in print. In collaboration with WoolfsonLab. Bristol Biochemistry Bristol Chemistry Bristol BioDesign Institute nature.com/articles/s4158…

We're thrilled to announce 2024's brand new #ListerFellows! Andrew Davidson Lizzy Rosser Nicky Whiffin Alex Borodavka Rebecca Drummond @SarahDimeloeLab welcome to the fold 🥳📷 🎈 lister-institute.org.uk/welcome-2024-l…

Applications are now open for the Lister Prize 2025. Please apply by midnight (GMT) on Monday 23 September 2024. Start your application here: lister-institute.org.uk/how-to-apply/

We have three PhD projects with motor-cytoskeleton theme though collaborations with three new(ish) PIs at Bristol Biochemistry supported by SWBio DTP with Berni Carroll (lysosome transport), Ferdos Abid Ali (endocytosis) and Jessica Cross (protein design) see swbio.ac.uk/biomolecular-a…

Our paper explaining why two motor proteins that walk in opposite direction depend on each other is finally out. Great collaboration with Carter Lab, initiated by Alex Zwetsloot, beautiful structural biology by Ferdos Abid Ali. A thread 🧵 (1/9) nature.com/articles/s4159…

We have a new 4-year postdoctoral position available working between our lab an the WoolfsonLab Bristol Biochemistry Bristol Chemistry applying protein design approaches to control intracellular transport. More info on flyer. Get in touch!
