Some news!

We will move to the University of Manchester @manchester.ac.uk in January!

We will keep some association with. Newcastle University for a while.

Very excited!

Are you using DIA mass spectrometry in proteomics?

We have just put this paper online: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here, we came up with some Recommendations for Quantitative Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) Proteomics using Controlled Quantitative Experiments (CQEs)

Very happy that we have been awarded a £800k grant from the MRC for a novel mass spectrometer for the @newcastleuni.bsky.social NUPPA facility.
Thanks to everyone involved!

In life sciences there are two types of people in my experience: those that embrace and exploit omics and other large scale data technologies and those who work on one problem at the time. I had many collaborators from either side.

The financial crisis of the HE sector in the UK now leads to increased numbers of grant and fellowship applications, pushing down the success rates. Since also overheads increased, in some cases we will see success rates halved.

There is a BBSRC fellowship which will have a success rate of 5%.

@drandyfrey.bsky.social having quite some interest at his poster at #EUPA2025

We have performed a controlled quantitative experiment with a three proteome mix and come up with recommendations using DIA.

Biorxiv paper out soon (hopefully!)

Wow, yes. An amazing glimpse of the LLM Lie Machine at work. Anyone whose students are bring tempted by LLMs, sharing this could be very helpful showing how it lies, and how it fails.

Labour dropping Net Zero will lead to Reform voters still voting Reform and Labour voters voting for the Greens.

Sigh. Want to go to two conferences in France and ideally take the train to reduce my CO2 output.

To get to Paris I can either spend £500 to take the train or fly for £88.

This is so fucked up.

I would like to share our latest work: After years of optimisation, we have developed a flow cytometry-based method to isolate pathogen-containing phagosomes. Paired with sensitive proteomics, this provides exciting new insights into host-pathogen interactions!

Flow cytometry-based isolation combined with ultra-sensitive proteomics of Salmonella-containing phagosomes reveals novel insights into host-pathogen interactions
Macrophages engulf pathogens into dynamic phagosomes, which many bacteria manipulate for survival. However, isolating pure pathogen-containing phagosomes remains challenging. Here, we developed a nove...

Journal editors are now receiving such letters from the US government. The entire scientific community must unite to support our journals in flatly resisting such illegal interventions.

Yesterday we were proud to join the launch of the LifeArc Centre for Rare Mitochondrial Diseases - a major step forward in mito research

We led a workshop on making complex science clear – because involving patients is key to success
