Dr. Erin E. Cutts 👩‍🔬

I am very pleased to share my new preprint! We use a new assay to interrogate how human TOP2a resolves catenated DNA. Here is a thread: 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@FedExEurope you continue to be the worse way to ship anything. After following all the labelling guidelines you keep sending my parcel back! It’s so frustrating, why is it always such a struggle!

🚨We’re hiring! Passionate about #microscopy, #biophysics and #interdisciplinaryresearch? There's still time to apply for our EPSRC PhD project on how actin network architecture shapes the mechanical properties of cells at @sheffielduni Learn more/Apply: findaphd.com/phds/project/f…

The study of KIF4A-mediated human condensin I activation is out! Congrats to @cutts_dr, L. Aragon, @DamlaTetiker !

There is nothing like seeing an article online!

Our work on SMC Wadjet complex is finally out @MolecularCell ! Congrats to @BisLightyear @iamamardeeep @_KevinCorbett & co.!

Trying to get multiple manuscripts published at the same time:

The short talk abstract deadline for the Keystone Interplay of Chromatin Architecture and Transcription Regulation meeting is coming up (Jan 9). The meeting is being held jointly with the Epigenetics in Development and Disease meeting, and it will be awesome! #KSChromatin25

There are a bunch of great projects at Sheffield worth checking out as well: findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Please get in touch to hear more about the application process and project. Check out my website for more information: cuttslab.uk

I have two PhD positions available in my group next year! These projects are looking at how disordered regions alter protein dynamics. One is through the Yorkshire BBSRC DTP, advertisement to come, but more information can be found here: whiterose-mechanisticbiology-dtp.ac.uk/yorkshire-bios…

“We’re very excited to see what people do with this” AlphaFold3 is open at last go.nature.com/4fHAfio

Excited to share that the AlphaFold 3 model code and weights are now available for academic use. Looking forward to seeing what new research this unlocks and how the research community builds on AlphaFold 3 for scientific discoveries github.com/google-deepmin… 1/2

A quantitative intracellular peptide binding assay reveals recognition determinants and context dependence of short linear motifs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_biochem

Very proud of @BoyaZhang4 and this lovely first paper, first of many I am sure.

🔥JOB ADVERT🔥 Looking for a postdoc to work on #machine_learning classification of #knots & #proteins and discovery of new topological invariants. Start by November 2025 Duration 2 years min Where: TAPLab @PhysAstroEd Generously funded by @LeverhulmeTrust Retweet pls ❤️

Exciting! Meeting all my colleagues working on SMC complexes in Numazo Japan: niki-lab.sakura.ne.jp/NIGIS2024/inde…

New work from the lab! James Stowell led this project showing the importance of multivalency and phospho-regulation in mRNA decay. This has many parallels with other mechanisms in gene expression... 🧵 1/ #RNA #NMR #bioRxiv @MRC_LMB @ERC_Research

Brilliant to be in Japan at the SMC meeting presenting my work on Condensin regulation! Huge thanks to @Co_Biologists and @Official_BSCB for a travel grant to help me get here!

BBC weather seems a bit confused… Hope everyone is ok in Florida…

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…
