Any legislation that is passed today or tomorrow can be repealed by a new parliament if one is elected before 31 October. A No Deal Brexit on 31 October can only be taken off the table if legislation is passed and no election takes place before 31 October.

Congratulations Boris Sieber on successfully defending your PhD.Hope you get many more gifts from Santa!

A titan of Drosophila research!

Postdoc opportunity #2! This one's with me and Jack Sunter, a really cool project combining forward and reverse genetics, great for someone interested in sequencing and parasite cell biology. Apply here: my.corehr.com/pls/oburecruit… Please RT/share

We are very pleased that our commitment to sustainability has been recognised with a LEAN Green Labs UK award! Many thanks to Saroj Saurya and Dunn School of Pathology Green Group for being our inspiration and catalysing better practice in the Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social)!

Check out a new and exciting finding from our lab and collaborators on a new substrate for a rhomboid protease! adam grieve Lucrezia Zarcone Matthew Freeman, now only @mjafreeman.bsky.social in the Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social) found that RHBDL2 cleaves the calcium channel protein Orai1 to control immunological signalling.

So happy to see our paper out Molecular Cell; please take a look! When we started this work, we couldn't have predicted that rhomboids could sense conformational changes in membrane proteins. Is this the tip of the iceberg? 👀 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S10…

Now the prospect is soon to become a reality, it's time to share the news that I was awarded a Wellcome and The Royal Society Sir Henry Dale fellowship to start my lab at Bristol Biochemistry. Huge thanks again to the very many people that supported me. Exciting times ahead! 🥳😁
