The cover of this month's issue of Structural Biology Communications bit.ly/3J4MSVW shows the X-ray structure of Borna disease virus 1 phosphoprotein determined by Jack Whitehead, Jeremy Keown and Jonathan Grimes at STRUBIOxford bit.ly/3JycdJo #openaccess

Ive got a 3 year postdoc position available to study Influenza virus replication and assembly by cryo-SPA an cryo-ET....in a stimulating lab environment STRUBIOxford. With access to state of the art EM kit in CL3 containment my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

So proud to see my masters work out in pre-print. Thank you so much to everyone involved, but especially @MaxxRenner 🙌

Really excited to have this work out for everyone to see - the second manuscript from my DPhil work at the @TBharat_lab!

Highly recommend applying to the Dunn school DPhil programme. Come and study flu replication with us!

Excited to share that the first paper from the Isom lab is now available on Biorxiv! (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). We have investigated YhdP at the molecular level to show that it forms an envelope-spanning bridge and that putative phospholipids are found inside this bridge!

An amazing opportunity to work with my friend and old masters supervisor, Max in an exciting field with great resources. Check it out! umu.se/en/work-with-u…

Highly recommended joining our DPhil programme!

A great opportunity to work with an amazing friend and colleague 💪

🚨Attention diderm enthusiasts 🦠🧫! Want to see the TolQR motor structure? Or why TolA is so alpha-helical? Or what happens when you mutate the centre of TolA to an intrinsically disordered sequence? Read our new paper for all this and more! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

DELIGHTED that this is finally in print 🙌 Here, we study HMPV nucleoprotein structures and how they bind to the phosphoprotein - the essential cofactor of the viral polymerase. HUGE thanks to our great collaborators, and to the legendary @MaxxRenner nature.com/articles/s4146…

🛎 I will soon open the call for a 4-year #PhD studentship fully funded by Diamond Light Source and the University of Oxford. 🔬The project will involve #cryoEM and #cryoET studies of RNA viruses & glycoproteins, plus a valuable professional internship!

📢#hiring #postdoc📢 There are two postdoc positions available in my lab at Zhejiang University Zhejiang University, China🇨🇳. There will be full of🦠🔬🍻 taken place. Please DM me for more information.

Looking for a motivated postdoctoral research scientist with cryo-EM and biochemistry experience to join our group to study virus-host interactions and coevolution. We benefit from a great environment @MRC_LMB Medicine at Cambridge Cambridge University jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43440/

Big thanks to PLOS Biology for highlighting our work as your annual favourite! 💕 Genuinely flattered 😍 I do hope it makes a fun Christmas reading journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… Check out here for the PLOS Biology 2023 editor’s summary of interesting articles: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

It’s amazing what you can find in 106 yr-old autopsy samples—two, complete 1918 H1N1 genomes! Congrats to the authors and thank you for letting me contribute a small part to this fascinating study 🦠🫁 #flu #virology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Come and work with us! Great resources, great environment, and certainly a great boss!

Cannot recommend working with Max highly enough!

Have a read of some cool work Esra has been doing in our lab!

This is Cowley Road, which should be the bustling heart of East Oxford. Instead, it's extremely quiet with businesses either closed or closing early. This street is home to one of the largest concentrations of independent businesses in the UK. Horribly sad to see.
