Here's a direct link to the awesome work that's just been published from our lab! Lysosomal degradation products induce Coxiella burnetii virulence pnas.org/content/early/… #scicomm

Our pre-print is up! Super excited to have contributed to this cool #proteomics work (and to see my name on a paper for the first time!) Huge thanks to Nichollas Scott for the opportunity 🎉

Today marks 10 years since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, where 185 people lost their lives, and thousands more were forever changed. We stand with the victims and the people of Christchurch. We know the global community joins us in honouring their courage and resilience.

Apologies if this is braggy or self-indulgent but getting this email after a few long hard weeks made me quite emotional. I’m just a gal who dropped science in Year 10 and I have no idea how I got here but here we are and I couldn’t be happier 👩🏻‍🔬

So thrilled to have the opportunity to share some of my early PhD work with such a supportive crowd of bacteriologists. First conference talk done ✅ #bacpath2022

Had my first late-night timepoint in the lab tonight and was very amused to arrive to a selection of motivational post-its… sometimes I have to stop and pinch myself when I think about how lucky I am to work with such a supportive (and hilarious) team #PhDlife

Summarising a PhD in 3 minutes is always challenging but I loved my opportunity to share some really exciting recent findings about #Coxiella and lysosomal proteases! Thanks to VIIN for the opportunity ☺️

Had the best week in beautiful Singapore learning all about the biochemistry, structural biology & proteomic approaches to understanding proteases International Proteolysis Society. So grateful to share my work and take home a poster award! Thanks to Laura Edgington-Mitchell for supporting me!

I'm so excited to announce the release of some very exciting work: we applied FAIMS fractionation to improve coverage of the N-terminome without the need for enrichment. Using this method, we identified 119 new legumain substrates! Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Had an incredible week at the #lysosomesandendocytosis #GRC in NH, USA. Feeling inspired by some cool cell biology, excited to have met some of my science heroes, and delighted to have been voted Best Talk at the GRS! #teamlysosome 🧫🔬
