Recent PI and Wellcome Trust fellow at the University of Sheffield. Combining microscopy with membrane reconstitution and cell biology. Lover of Phosphoinositides and rock climbing
Really glad to show our recent work using recombinant phosphoinositide probes to investigate membrane identity changes during endosomal trafficking. Should be a great mini symposium to highlight the power of fluorescent microscopy techniques for cell biology!
Join us this Thursday for our mini-symposium with the membrane trafficking webinar series
Featuring talks from @nickader.bsky.social, @maiblab.bsky.social and Mónica Quiñones-Frías, and a keynote lecture from Gillian Griffiths @griffithslab.bsky.social.

In my first real post I want to show the key experiment that revealed to me what I want my own lab to be about:
The conversion of phosphoinositides!
By using fluorescent biosensors and membrane coated beads I was able to reconstitute the real time kinetics of PI(4)P to PI(4,5)P2 conversion by PIP5K
