A hot day at the office yesterday!

Sitting in the garden working on a presentation for Monday and two spitfires fly over. You’ve got to love living close to Duxford!

Ready to go, BMSS 2022!

Day 2 of BMSS off to a good start. Interesting talk about XLinking studies of proteins involved in Huntington’s disease from Georgina Charlton Kostas Thalassinos

We have a Sandwich student placement open in the Crick Proteomics lab. Deadline for application 6th Oct. The Francis Crick Institute Spread the word! crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

We are recruiting a #postdoc to join our collaborative and friendly team @MRC_LMB to study #transcription-coupled splicing and alternative splicing. We use a combined approach of #cryoEM and #biochemistry. Informal enquiries by email are welcome. Please RT!

Trip to Bolsover Brass Band Festival yesterday and the City of Cambridge BB come away with some silverware!

Interested in proteomics, want to do a fascinating PhD-project leading to a career in industry or academia? Apply to work with us on computational proteomics and human evolution 📊💀: crick.ac.uk/careers-study/… Helen Fewlass, J. Mark Skehel, Sam Rodriques

#VanquishNeo users - What do I have to do to make this LC like me? We got 3 installed recently and we are seeing this problem where we progressively lose signal during the gradient. Example image from earlier this month (top) vs. today (bottom). Happening on 2 of 3 LCs.

It is with tremendous sadness that the BMSS today learned of the passing of Prof. Jim Scrivens. Jim was truly a pioneer in the #MassSpec community and a dear friend to many. He will be greatly missed. The BMSS sends its condolences to Jim’s family and friends.

We and the RBO Lab - TU Berlin are excited to present AlphaLink nature.com/articles/s4158… a modified version of the AlphaFold2 protein structure prediction algorithm that can directly incorporate experimental residue-residue contact data from crosslinking MS (and potentially other techniques)!

Our new review on DNA Repair and Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer Stem Cells is out. Enjoy!! mdpi.com/2207496 #mdpicancers via Cancers MDPI

The Mascot Newsletter had its 100th issue last month! April 2023 is out now: Breakfast meeting at ASMS, Bioinertization of nanoLC/MS/MS systems for phosphoproteomics, 25 years of Matrix Science. #proteomics #MassSpec #MassSpectrometry #Bioinformatics matrixscience.com/nl/202304/news…

June is turning out to be a good month for structural mass spec at the Crick!

Much like a bus, here's another one! Our first publication of HDX-MS data using the power of the Waters Select Cyclic! MS_revolutION The Francis Crick Institute sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It is with great pleasure that I announce that registration for our single cell and low input proteomics conference is now open. In contrast to most other conferences, we offer a special feature. Registration is free of charge First come - first serve. apma.at/2023/09/26/5th…

Delighted to share that my manuscript of "Mechanism of single-stranded DNA annealing by RAD52-RPA complex" is now in Nature!
