Interested in biomolecular condensates and viruses? We have exciting, fully funded iCase PhD studentships based in our lab @CamBiochem in partnership with TransitionBio (transitionbio.com). Apply here: bbsrcdtp.lifesci.cam.ac.uk and mrcdtp.medschl.cam.ac.uk/prospective-st…

We have a PhD project on the molecular mechanisms of influenza virus replication. Please consider joining our team and department @Dunn_School. #LoveVirology #PhD #influenza findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Hot off the press! We have investigated how a promiscuous RNA-binding protein/RNA chaperone affects large RNAs using SHAPE/DMS-MaP in vitro and in virus-infected cells. Check out our studies of the transcriptome-wide effects of the viral RNA chaperone: academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

If you're looking for a super exciting postdoc in a great location the lab of @jonathan_grimes from @OxfordStrubi have 5year position. We'll use SPA and cryo-tomography to look at how the influenza virus works. Please DM if you've got any questions. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

A chance to work on RNA structure in collaboration with Pfizer! There is great science going on in the Borodavka lab and it is also a fun place to come to work.

Our study on a novel role of host factor ANP32 in influenza virus genome replication has been published on @NAR_Open academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…, congrats everyone involved @FangzhengWang @Dr_Shepp @StallerEcco @wendybarclay11 @jonathan_grimes @fodorlab @Dunn_School @OxfordStrubi!

This Friday: Alex Borodavka (@AlexBoRNA) from @CamBiochem will be telling us about the detailed choreography that goes into packing the segmented RNA genome of rotaviruses. 🗓️ Friday, 20th May ⏰ 2pm 💻 Hybrid talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/d2bc5…

The lab of @jonathan_grimes are looking for a postdoc to join @OxfordStrubi @OxfordMedSci. We use cryoET/correlative microscopy to image cells infected with influenza virus. Access to all the latest equipment in a fantastic environment with a great PI. tinyurl.com/3h76dhuh

Super happy and grateful for all the great discussions and stimulating questions so far! If you want to learn about therapeutic oligos and their delivery come and see mine and @SebastianSjstr1 posters (T02 / T08) in the next session tonight @GBM_eV in #Mosbach!

Hana's @hanaveler paper on the interactions of the influenza virus polymerase with Rab11a highlighted by the Editors of Journal of Virology @Dunn_School journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

It was a great pleasure and fun to visit Oxford to examine Michael Knight’s PhD thesis together with @NorbsOx. Many congratulations to @M_L_Knight and many thanks to his supervisors  @fodorlab and @DavidLVBauer for many stimulating discussions!

Just out today, our contribution to understanding #SARSCoV2! We show that the viral polymerase is involved in capping the viral RNA. With thanks to @fodorlab @haitian_fan @JeremyKeown1 @M_L_Knight @jonathan_grimes academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Interested in biomolecular condensates, viruses, biophysics, protein and RNA chemistry? Interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in our lab at @CamBiochem in collaboration with an industrial partner? Consider applying for Cambridge MRC DTP iCASE studentship here: mrcdtp.medschl.cam.ac.uk/prospective-st…

Had a great time working with the complete legends @javier_gilbert and @AdamAtTheLab1 on this. Always happy to be on a publication where one of the figures is a cartoon of a squirrel.

Always a fantastic experience to work with @JeremyKeown1

Our work on the landscape of protein-RNA interactions controlling #SARS_CoV_2 infection is now live in @MolecularCell. Team effort between the @castello_lab, @FranklinSystems, @BartenschlagLab, @ilandavislab , @CamCProteomics and @MaxPerutzLabs cell.com/molecular-cell…

So happy to share the final version of our minireview with an amazing cover photo by @Ra_MicroSci!

We are looking for a postdoc to work on SARS-CoV-2 molecular and structural biology. Please apply following the link! my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

A must-read!
