Very happy that our work on understanding tropolone biosynthesis is now out in mBio Great work from the PhD of Alaster Moffat and some excellent biochemistry from TeufelLab #biosynthesis #Pseudomonas journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Excellent first half of our John Innes Centre Ruđer Bošković Institute Summer School in beautiful Croatia (although currently having heavy thunderstorms ⛈ ) at the Inter-University Centre Dubrovnik

Great to have our Director introduce our first John Innes Centre Diversity lecture (sponsorship by JIF) given by Helen Musgrove from Lexxic. Along with our Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research connecting culture project planning to see some real changes to celebrate and value neurodiversity.

Delighted that a collaboration with Satish Nair is now online Nature Chemical Biology Nucleobases are common in biology but not in peptides. In this work, a nucleobase-peptide hybrid is generated from a ribosomal precursor peptide via YcaO domain protein catalysis. nature.com/articles/s4158…

#ICYMI We hope everyone who attended our Applied Molecular Microbiology Summer School at Inter-University Centre Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Institute had an amazing time. Judging from your posts and photos, you certainly did! Roll on the next one in 2026! 🦠🔬

Today Department for Science, Innovation and Technology published the UK Position Paper on the 10th EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme. Read it here: gov.uk/government/pub…

If your degree is 'not good value for money', then don't do it. But in science, after 12 years of frozen fees, we simply can't afford to deliver our current high-contact high skill degree courses. But government, not fees, should be paying more for key degrees. #r4today

ICYMI, I maintain a list of conferences for the natural product community! tinyurl.com/NP-events I've stopped doomscrolling here, which means I don't see events. I expect a wave of announcements in the new year. If you know about or are organizing an event, please reach out!

Please RT. 1x postdoc and 1xPhD position available in our group to study the role of NLR-like proteins in cellular development and antibiotic production in Streptomyces. Postdoc: shorturl.at/f8NTN PhD position: shorturl.at/qCFmN Email me for more information.

For goodness sake. Despite big tax rises overall chancellor has done it again. Fuel duty frozen and "temporary" 5p cut kept. This government is supposed to care about climate change. And I'm willing to bet fiscal numbers assume increases into the future. How much longer?

Was fun to introduce a new student to this classic of a paper from Merv Bibb and colleagues at JIC published 40 years ago (!!). Such an elegant observation and still useful at "seeing" genes that have been misannotated or missed entirely. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Come join us at JIC!

I thought it was a bug on my RSS reader. Turns out, it's not

It was a pleasure Michael Brigham 😀 Well done on a great thesis.

Check out what I was up as I was nearing the end of my postdoc! Big congrats and thanks to the cryo-em king casu_b for all the incredible work together and to Susan Schlimpert for letting me work on this project early on until the end of my time there!!!
