@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.

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…

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…
