14 hours left for the vote. How is X-ray crystallography so far behind... 😭😭😭

I’m so bad at sharing art on here, but I’ll post more - Here’s the first four covers for this year’s The Lancet Rheumatology #illustration #Illustrator #editorialillustration

I've made two posters for La Trobe University La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science who are celebrating Day of Immunology Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology with a Discovery Tour, featuring science through lectures and workshops! #LIMSDoI2022 is a free public event but spaces are limited. Please check it out: bit.ly/37Oulyh

Next up, we have Carol Hua from Deakin University presenting a keynote lecture with some beautiful crystals, NMR and Fluorescence! #CrystalLite SCANZ

Pleased to share our work out today in Nature Communications!! "Covalent TCR-peptide-MHC interactions induce T cell activation and redirect T cell fate in the thymus" with Chris Szeto and labs 💮Nicole La Gruta GRAS Lab Stephen Daley Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science QUT doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

My work on covalent TCR-peptide MHC is out in Nature Communications. It's been a very challenging and exciting project, congrats to GRAS Lab Stephen Daley 💮Nicole La Gruta Pirooz Zareie. doi.org/10.1038/s41467… If you're at #ecm33 I'm presenting my poster today & tomorrow! Let's chat!

I've written a blog post on disulfide bonded TCR design for @PtngConsulting bit.ly/3AbuMgw Protein engineering x structural biology = better therapeutic design. There's more to it than binding affinity. I reveal the world's first disulfide-bonded TCR-peptide system.

Congratulations to Chris Szeto from the GRAS Lab on winning the PDBe poster prize at #ECM33. Chris wins a cash prize of €200 and some PDBe goodies, presented by David Armstrong

Abstract deadline today! Submit your work to assemble with us in Bendigo. Registration open too - with Early Bird Rates available until 24th October.

Love the thing where Outlook deletes emails about meetings if I rsvp to them. Very helpful. Zero chance I'll need to look at that email again to see the agenda, find the Zoom link, etc. A million stars.

Submitted my first @LorneProteins T shirt design. Couldn't think of a protein, so I drew @DeepMind's AlphaFold. It's a bit new age compared to the traditional designs, but so is structure prediction in structural biology! A mesh of old, new, human elbow grease, and AI magic!

I'm happy to share that I'll be joining the Australian Synchrotron next year. Looking forward to seeing you all during beamtime. Big thanks to GRAS Lab La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science for putting up with me for 5 years. It's been crazy fun, will treasure all the memories, and your secrets are safe with me. ;D

If you're @LorneProteins today, we'll be running an Australian Synchrotron workshop with pizza at 1pm! Come and grab some 🍕 and listen to us chat about the MX beamlines (old and new), including SAXS as well. Questions welcome 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

On the MX beamlines Australian Synchrotron, if you ever lose or accidentally close sample cam or the beam cam, I've designed some new icons to easily locate and relaunch them!

Drawing the Australian Synchrotron MX2 beamline did help with learning the different parts, but most of all, I now have huge respect to the people who organised all the cables! Now with sample light blink!

Every Friday morning, beamline scientists and friends at the Australian Synchrotron meet at the coffee beanline to share coffee and donuts in our donut-shaped facility. I'm pretty much donut-shaped now as well. 😂😭

I didn't win the T-shirt comp this year for Lorne Proteins, but still had a lot of fun designing it, all the while giggling to myself. Thought I would share the art and the funnies. :) #sciart
