How can we find out what’s really going on inside cells when we’re generating so much complex data?

CORNETO is an open-source tool that uses machine learning to turn tangled omics datasets into clear maps of how genes, proteins, and signalling pathways interact.

Huge thanks to our funders @wellcometrust.bsky.social who generously funded the project. Their long-term support for our lab has made this possible especially because the project started over a decade ago, throwing many surprises along the way!
Excited to report our latest research on new “molecular glues” that specifically lock the BRCC36 isopeptidase complex (BRISC) in an autoinhibited state and reduce interferon signalling. This first-of-its-kind approach could reshape how we target large deubiquitylase (DUB) complexes.

The irony of an article discussing the unpaid labor of scientists, published by a $4bn corporation reliant on the unpaid labor of scientists.

I spent two years organizing an international conference. How do I get compensated for my work?
It can be hard to say no to service requests in academia. Nature’s Careers team sought advice on how to ensure researchers don’t get stuck doing unpaid labour.
