Turns out RNA capping regulates mitochondria during T cell activation impacting their function. Guess I better dig out my old biochemistry notes!
Congrats Alison Galloway, Tom MacVicar and @Vichaico

Scientists at the @Robertslab1 @CRUK_SI Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute raised more than £650 for the charity by braving the mud at Pretty Muddy on Saturday. Despite torrential rain the team successfully tackled the challenging course in Strathclyde Park. Huge thanks from everyone @CancerResearch UK for helping to fund lifechanging research 👏👏👏

🚨🔎 Out now in @PLOSPathogens! 🔎🚨 This project has taken us @CVRinfo @UofGMVLS on a wild and wonderful journey. I am excited to share our story of how influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit cell death to facilitate its covert spread. N/1 journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

🐄 NEW | Research from the CVR reveals how #H5N1 avian influenza has adapted to infect bovine cells, contributing to a major outbreak in dairy cattle in North America.
Multiple internal genomic segments of the virus drive its adaptation to bovine cells.

It was great to be back at @UofGlasgow to talk about my PhD research, experience and sci-comm career. I had really missed talking about dendritic cells!
Very privileged to accept the @UofGCancerSci PhD prize.
Especially loved catching up with @immuno_ed and @Robertslab1 ✨

We report CK2 kinase phosphorylates RNA cap methyltransferase, CMTR1, promoting interaction with RNA pol II and RNA cap formation. CMTR1 phosphorylation impacts ribosome production, IFN responses and influenza infection. @CRUK_SI

Just in case Brexit was not enough to debilitate UK science, shoot yourself in the other foot.

The phrase ‘metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths’ is one of the most widely used in cancer research, yet it is overly simplistic, imprecise, and it is difficult to find any primary analysis supporting the statement. | → rdcu.be/dLgsZ ← | 🧵(1/5)

Now with link:
I will have two postdoc positions and a technical post in my new(ish) lab in UCL. One biased to wet experiments with chemoattractant gradients, and one more based on modelling and maths. But both posts encompassing both.
Drop me a line!
