We have studied one of the most abundant “Nucleoid Associated Proteins” (NAP) called “Integration Host Factor” (IHF). IHF is involved in horizontal gene transfer, gene activation and phage DNA integration in bacteria. In this paper we discover that may do even more than that. 1/n

The University of York is recruiting for a Chair in Theoretical Soft Matter Biophysics:  jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/chair-… Physics of Life at York Physics of Life

I am pleased to offer two exciting PhD opportunities University of York to study virus assembly, structure and genome processing. Viruses are the most abundant organisms on the planet with a massive impact on all aspects of life. Apply: bit.ly/3tqGVOJ or bit.ly/3ZJTmBx

I've really enjoying working with James Barrett and Sabina Musiał in Luke Mackinder's lab to apply cryo-EM to understand carbon fixation. We've got loads of exciting leads to follow up on and you'll be joining a really nice and supportive team

Literal blood sweat and tears gone into this project, it’s great to finally see it getting out there….

Sneak a peek at this thread to see how we developed COMBI-Tweez… 1/n

This is truly stunning, visually and biologically

Symmetry breaking is crucial to life – collapsing disordered symmetry to ordered asymmetry, spanning scales from tissues to biomolecule chirality eg DNA. Our breakthrough new COMBI-Tweez tech helps study this rdcu.be/dCSNI Physics of Life Nature Communications 1/n

Stryer’s writing brought me through many challenges. At no point however, did I think I’d be emotional about the passing of I man I never met. Long may “Biochemistry” live on to help all those yet to find joy in its pages.

Ok #academictwitter can you help? Looking for (very) high affinity amyloid-beta antibodies or nanobodies to support development of an Alzheimer’s blood test. What’s best? What works? What doesn’t? Can you make them? (Asking for a physicist!) Some context: tinyurl.com/4kufva74

PhD studentship available in my lab on the BBSRC NLD DTP for Oct 24 entry! findaphd.com/phds/project/b… . Amazing project using genomics and cool new microscopes to investigate how gene regulation works. Suitable for a wide range of backgrounds - biology, biomed, physics.

I have a summer studentship available using super resolved microscopy to characterise model biofilms, if anyone knows of any undergraduate that would be interested all information can be found here: rms.org.uk/community/netw…

Our paper is now published! 🎉 With ✨️Mark Leake Chris MacDonald Jamieson Howard✨️ Check iPAR: a new reporter for eukaryotic cytoplasmic protein aggregation. bmcmethods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Super excited for the arrival of our brand new Lumicks C-Trap in Peter O'Toole Biology at York, funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research. This state-of-the-art optical tweezers / confocal microscope will enable us to probe the dynamics of structured viral RNAs, one molecule at a time 🔆🧬🔆

It's here. The LUMICKS C-Trap is up and running with real samples from the Durham University Newcastle University Hull York Medical School University of York consortium. Thanks Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research for funding.

New preprint alert! 🚨👇 I'm delighted to share the latest research from Jemma Betts in our group: ‘A new protein-dependent riboswitch stimulates ribosomal frameshifting’. Huge congratulations to Jemma for the first manuscript of her PhD! ✨ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
