Happy to announce that the Genome Stability Lab (GSL) @MCRCnews @UoM_DCS have achieved the SILVER #LEAF level for lab #sustainability Reducing plastic use, using timer switches or "switch it off" stickers, optimising waste routes, and the ULT at -70C have all helped #greenlabs

Pioneer the future of discovery and innovation with a fully funded Bicentenary PhD Studentship in Biology, Medicine and Health at @OfficialUoM. Find out more: bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/research…

Update: I have a UKRI fully funded PhD studentship in my lab working with Prof. Helen Walden and Dr Panos Kotsantis. If you are interested in ubiquitin signalling and cell cycle regulation/DNA replication stress, please take a look! #d.en.913215" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/d…

Excited to share this work led by @CamillaElb where we identify an entirely new role of LUBAC as a critical regulator of AMPK, the energetic stress response, and cellular metabolism. If you are interested in #ubiquitin and #metabolism, have a read: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lots of engaging questions, insights, networking, and candid sharing of career experiences from all the fantastic speakers at the Early Career Symposium! Thankful to @BiochemSoc for organising! #careers #ECR #BiochemEvent

Another packed day of public engagement with 1000s of secondary school kids as part of #NewScientistLive event at the ExCeL arena. Thank you to Joe and Simon for putting the escape room and activities together and everyone who I volunteered with this weekend!

Quick look at around before the mayhem of New Scientist Live today at the ExCeL arena. Another new day tomorrow engaging the public about early cancer detection, risk factors, therapeutics, and treatments. The Escape Room was quite popular too... #research #cancer #science

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

I am super excited to show our work, now published in NAR @NAR_Open, on the structural function of SLF1 at the stalled replication fork. @AstburyCentre @ScienceLeeds academic.oup.com/nar/article/do…

@cutts_dr We have an AKTA Explorer and Prime with additional bits and bobs that aren't being used. Up in Manchester.

Does anyone I know on twitter have any old akta purifiers hanging around I can take some parts off?

Really fantastic #EMBOubiquitin24 @EMBOevents workshop with a superb lineup of speakers and so many cool posters. Congrats to the poster prize winners @gallant_kai @chatrin_ch & Jason Collins! Thank you @BiochemSoc for the GTG and @C_K_Schmidt for asking me to go #ubiquitin #UBL

@PaulaDobrinic Yep just on the outward leg. Set off earlier in the week. The Zagreb-Split connection was long and 2 hr delayed so a bit of a slog but had a compartment and space do could have been worse

Manchester, UK > Cavtat, Croatia via Paris, Stuttgart, Zagreb, and Split 🚂🚄🚆🚂🚌 Over 2600 km covered with lots of chance for reading, data analysis, and brainstorming. Now onto #EMBOubiquitin2024 #research #science #sustainabletravel

Exciting #careers event run by @BiochemSoc next month with some super networking and panel sessions included. Find out more & register here: eventsforce.net/biochemsoc/fro…

Our ‘Cell scientist to watch’ interview is with @Alexis_Barr, the winner of the 2024 @Official_BSCB Women in Cell Biology Early Career Medal. We discussed Alexis’s research, her career path and her volunteering work for the Social Mobility Foundation. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Registration is open for our Early Career Symposium on 17 October! ECRs are invited to join us in London for discussion on starting a lab, exploration of diverse careers in research, and a panel on research commercialisation and entrepreneurship. ow.ly/b12850T3RiC

@Elliott_Lab_Ox Congrats Paul! 🧪

Really honoured to have received this funding from CRUK to support the Lab – it enables us to venture into new and exciting directions investigating how highly aneuploid cancer cells exploit certain ubiquitin ligases for their survival.
