Well done Michael and team! Ion binding with charge inversion combined with screening modulates DEAD box helicase phase transitions: Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Exciting times! We have a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship available to study how proteins and RNA interact to form germ granules. Please forward to potential candidates and get in touch if you're interested. More details here: kcl.ac.uk/study-legacy/f…

Our first paper is out in Cell! Led by Rohith Rajasekaran, we present a programmable reaction-diffusion system that generates synthetic protein waves, oscillations, and patterns for spatiotemporal circuit design and FM data-encoding in human cells. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iN8ZL7PXmeeN

We are hiring! Do you fancy investigating the role of protein disorder in transcriptional regulation? Come see how the ideas we developed translate into the mammalian cell! You can contribute to mature projects and try out new areas. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

Do you know our next PhD students? We have two openings starting this summer, one for engineering of biomolecular condensates, and one for de novo design of protein binders (and their applications). Link and details ⬇️

🚨Delighted to announce that the London NMR Forum is returning! The new series begins 5-6pm Thursday 25 Jan The Francis Crick Institute, with D. Flemming Hansen discussing "NMR and AI". Short talks are invited from any field of magnetic resonance. Free registration: londonnmr.wordpress.com #nmrchat

Magnetic Isolation and Concentration (MagIC)-cryo-EM is a new method to enable direct structural analysis of targets captured on nanomagnetic beads, which requires only 0.0005 mg/mL of targets in 100 µL crude solution to make 10 cryo-EM grids. I will explain the magic behind it!

The BBS Elspeth Garman Prize for Public Engagement britishbiophysics.org/elspethgarmanp… will be presented to Prof. Rivka Isaacson Prof. Rivka Isaacson for her sustained excellence in biophysics public engagement over 25 years in the UK and far beyond. Rivka will present a lecture at a future BBS Meeting.

25 April marks the anniversary publication discovering the structure of DNA by Crick, Watson, Franklin, Gosling, and Wilkins. Dr Geoffrey Browell, Head of Archives & Research Collections, presents Photograph 51, pivotal in the helical structure of DNA.⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=F041-7…

🎉🥂Welcome to the 2024 NMES Graduate School research awards! Tonight we're celebrating the research of our third year PhD students in Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics and Physics ! Follow along for updates and winners!

Announcing AlphaFold 3: our state-of-the-art AI model for predicting the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules. 🧬 Here’s how we built it with Isomorphic Labs and what it means for biology. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3URDiNo

We're looking for a #postdoc to join our team King's Chemistry. If you're interested in molecular mechanisms and intracellular phase transitions, please get in touch! 3 year post. Ad closes 16 June: kcl.ac.uk/jobs/089765-po…

Excited to share new work from Garrett Ginell in which we present an approach for predicting intermolecular interaction driven by disordered regions. We focus on how chemical complementarity can contribute to and even dictate intermolecular interactions biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

🌟 Join Our Team! 🌟 We're seeking a talented #postdoc to join us King's Chemistry! Come and explore membraneless organelles, molecular conformations, and enzyme activity with us. 3-year post. Deadline extended to June 30. kcl.ac.uk/jobs/089765-po…

This is a monumental paper from Arvind. Not only did work out in his PhD how the classic model for allostery haemoglobin evolved. Now he designed allosteric proteins entirely from scratch. It think that's an awesome arc. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Interested in piRNAs and transposon DNA methylation? Our new collaborative work revels a key mechanism underpinning the precision of piRNA-guided LINE1 methylation. Congratulation to all the authors! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Just a day after receiving his Nobel Prize, #AlphaFold co-founder Dr John Jumper spoke to King’s students about his groundbreaking work using AI to predict protein structure - and how the prize announcement was kept under wraps. ⬇️ kcl.ac.uk/news/new-nobel… King's Doctoral College

AlphaFold allows scientists to start “asking different questions and potentially opening up whole new areas of research”🧠 Prof Rivka Isaacson Prof. Rivka Isaacson on how the recent Nobel Prize winner changed her field and collaboration between scientists and AI in Financial Times ft.com/content/9e8d90…

In Cell, I share a major conceptual challenge for biology in the next decade, inspired by Crick’s Central Dogma: understanding information flow in the cell, the smallest indivisible unit of life bit.ly/4hQMmva
