This morning we were at UK Prime Minister with @lorealuki promoting the brilliant L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Programme Women-led research will be critical to delivering the UN SDGs and a more sustainable future for all


(UK Prime Minister) celebrates @lorealuki #UNESCO Women Scientists! Minister for Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @GeorgeFreemanMP Government Office for Science hear about exceptional innovation & achievement; & challenges women scientists face from the For Women in Science prize nominees, The Lambe Lab & UNESCO UK



Jessica Cross from the School of Biochemistry Bristol Biochemistry University of Bristol was one of two highly commended applicants in the Physical Sciences category at the @lorealuki L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science award. Read more here: bristol.ac.uk/biochemistry/n…


Really enjoyed chatting all things science with some of the shortlisted women at the 2023 @lorealuki @Unesco UK & Ireland For Women in Science Rising Talent Evening, inc @amparoguemes Joanna Sadowska aka Dr Jojo 🌸 Tanya Shreedhar Jessica Cross #WomenInSTEM #FWIS25


@ThangamMP thank you for visiting Bristol Biochemistry today to see what is going on across the School and Uni to address gender equity in science and to celebrate @Jessica_a_cross's L'Oréal prize success. Much more to do to support women in science but much to be proud of as well.


Fantastic to host @ThangamMP in Bristol Biochemistry today with Mark Dodding WoolfsonLab and Evelyn Welch . An opportunity to celebrate women in science and discuss challenges in STEM following talks with @GeorgeFreemanMP through @lorealuki UNESCO UK For Women in Science.


New preprint from Jessica Cross continuing our collaboration with WoolfsonLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Jess uses de novo protein design to engineer a peptide responsive allosteric into the kinesin-1 elbow to control conformational state and activity Bristol Biochemistry

Excited to pre-print our new work, applying protein to design to engineer an allosteric switch into kinesin-1 motors in vitro and in cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Mark Dodding WoolfsonLab Bristol Biochemistry

New preprint out in bioRxiv, in collaboration with Mark Dodding . Check out Jess's work on engineering an allosteric switch into kinesin-1 motors through de novo protein design. Congrats to Jess and the team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


New preprint on #actin in the lumen of #microtubules led by Chisato Tsuji. Hopefully, a few things of interest - morphological heterogeneity, in vitro reconstitution, and most importantly, observation in primary (ex vivo) human cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Brilliant talk from Chisato Tsuji, Mark Dodding lab at #EESMicrotubules EMBL Events using Cryo-ET to study actin filaments within platelet microtubules! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Excited to see our work in print at Nature Chemical Biology today! We are using protein/peptide design to manipulate the activity of kinesin-1 motors in cells. Mark Dodding WoolfsonLab Bristol Biochemistry nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great to see our work on manipulating kinesin-1 activity using protein design led by Jessica Cross in print. In collaboration with WoolfsonLab. Bristol Biochemistry Bristol Chemistry Bristol BioDesign Institute nature.com/articles/s4158…


Looking for PhD students to join the new Cross lab, using protein engineering and design to manipulate intracellular transport! swbio.ac.uk/biomolecular-a… Project 62 Get in touch if you're interested in joining us! Working with WoolfsonLab Mark Dodding Bristol Biochemistry Bristol Chemistry


We have three PhD projects with motor-cytoskeleton theme though collaborations with three new(ish) PIs at Bristol Biochemistry supported by SWBio DTP with Berni Carroll (lysosome transport), Ferdos Abid Ali (endocytosis) and Jessica Cross (protein design) see swbio.ac.uk/biomolecular-a…
