In future work, I am now using our multispectral technology to study membrane trafficking pathways in cytotoxic T cells and related immunotherapies, to decode how T cells are able to eliminate virally-infected/cancer cells and what happens in patients when these processes go wrong. Updates to come!

We demonstrated the ability to simultaneously image trafficking of five different endogenous receptor classes using de-novo binders from David Baker's lab, by adding the multispectral technology to a state-of-the-art single objective light sheet microscope, capturing data at 3 volumes per second.

The technology we developed is compatible with any camera-based microscope and by using polycistronic plasmids and live-cell dyes (e.g. @spirochrome.com) we can image multiple organelles in live cells simultaneously.

Then, in September @akaashkumar.bsky.social passed his PhD viva, becoming the latest doctor to emerge from the lab! He then won the RMS Early Career Award 2024 in October.

Later in October, the LMB had their yearly annual symposium with Post-doc Lara Kruger winning the Steitz Prize for her talk and @akaashkumar.bsky.social winning the Perutz Prize for his PhD work!

Thanks for this, super useful for new joiners to bluesky (like me)! Could I be added to this group please?
