📢 DEADLINE EXTENSION #GlasgowVirologyWorksop Deadline for abstract submission and registration are now next week! 📆 Wednesday 1st May 2024 🔗gla.ac.uk/research/az/cv… Send a PDF with your name, email, affiliation and a 200-word abstract to [email protected].

Thrilled to announce Vincenzo Ruscica delivered an outstanding talk at the #RNASociety meeting 2024, Edinburgh! His exciting research on RNA decay and virus infection sparked exciting discussions. We are incredibly proud of his contributions to advancing #RNA biology research.

So proud of Louie Iselin, who defended her thesis successfully. She joined the Castello Lab before the pandemic and went through the troubles steadily and relentlessly generating an amazing work on the effects of #interferon in the regulation of #RBPs. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂

Excited to share our latest bioRxiv paper, in collaboration with @FranklinSystems (Rosalind Franklin Institute ), which explores virus permissive, intermediate, and hostile intracellular environments using multiple Omic platforms. Grateful for the amazing teamwork! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Saying the hardest goodbye to an amazing postdoc of our lab Azman Embarc. His dedication, hard work, and positive spirit has made a lasting impact on all of us. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours! You’ll be missed!

Very proud of our contribution to the Molecular Cell issue with "Focus on RNA biology". Our review focuses on the interactions that viral RNA establishes with the host cell and the emergence of new approaches to profile them systematically. #virus, #RNA

Proud of our recent work uncovering the RNA binding mechanism of TRIM25. We combine biophysics with molecular and cellular biology to map the amino acids in TRIM25 involved in the interaction with RNA and show that they are critical for its antiviral role. #RNA, #virus

Proud of our contribution to the Focus on RNA Biology issue in Molecular Cell. We discuss the new approaches to uncover the viral RNA interactome and recent important discoveries derived from them.

We are delighted to share one of our exceptional MSc student has been awarded with MSc in Infection Biology Best MSc Project Award (2023/2024) for her research, “Towards Elucidating the Complexes Formed by SARS-CoV-2 Proteins.” #SARSCoV2 #RNAbiology #InfectionBiology

Attention UK students! The James McCune Smith PhD Scholarships at the University of Glasgow offer opportunities for underrepresented black students in the UK. Benefits include mentorship, leadership training, and 6-month placements. If you are interested in applying contact us!

It was amazing to share and listen to Alfredo Castello at the SciLifeLab Spotlight seminar series yesterday. Very inspiring, engaging and cool science done by him and his team Castello Lab. Hope to see you soon and thanks for sharing with us in Sweden 🇸🇪 Pelechano lab.

Delighted to share Inner Jarmson successfully defended his PhD thesis on identification of #RNA editing #enzymes involved in #virus infection. He did an amazing job defending his work in viva. Congratulations to Innes for his dedication and hard work! We are very proud of you!

Our lab group is thrilled to have won with our "Do-Re-Mi" costume from The Sound of Music for the "music" themed Christmas party! It was a fantastic team effort and a great way to bond. Thanks to everyone who voted for us! Happy holidays from our lab to yours!

We are very proud of our new preprint revealing #alphaviruses induces cellular #RNA #degradation via XRN1 and the decapping complex to feed viral #replication with nucleotides. Thanks to the whole team and collaborators for the fantastic work. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excellent talk of Louisa Iselin in the "Expanding world of RBPs" conference at #embl Heidelberg on the RBPome remodelling induced by interferon. #RBP, #RNA, #interferon

Amid the challenges of a global pandemic, Natasha joined @Castellolab and embarked on an extraordinary journey. We proudly celebrate successful defence of her thesis. Her dedication and skills provide new insights into #tRNA ligase complex in health & infection. Congrats Natasha!
