I'm very excited that my first postdoc paper is out now at @nature.com!

I developed new single cell CDK sensors to investigate how CDK orchestrates mitosis including investigating bistability/hysteresis, how activity is propagated, and the role of centrosomes.
Spatiotemporal orchestration of mitosis by cyclin-dependent kinase - Nature
Experiments in fission yeast show that cyclin-dependent kinase is first activated in the nucleus, from which the mitotic signal is propagated from CDK at the centrosome to the cytoplasm.

Happy to share a review written with the wonderful @jstingele.bsky.social on transcription-coupled DPC repair, featuring an overview of new methods, close comparison with TC-NER, comments on clinical implications and plenty of discussion of the unknowns.

Transcription-coupled repair of DNA–protein crosslinks
DNA–protein crosslinks (DPCs) are highly toxic DNA lesions that are relevant to multiple human diseases. They are caused by various endogenous and environmental agents, and from the actions of enzymes...

Here’s my spreadsheet of starter packs (>80!) related to broadly ‘mechanistic biology’ plus some intriguing extras

Complete with collective nouns

I’ve been tracking these but now can’t keep up

Hope it’s helpful

ok, I tried to make a starter pack on genome stability/DNA replication/DNA repair etc. Sorry if I couldn't find someone, please nominate yourself and your colleagues in comments or DMs, looking forward to connecting with everyone!
