Thrilled for the publication of our latest paper on the role of SAS-6 in invasion.
This was a pre-pandemic and post-pandemic effort that would not have been possible without our students and the support of so many colleagues and friends!

Dear Colleagues,
I want to ask you a favour. As you know, I joined Brunel two years ago and I am committed to making Biosciences, @cengem.bsky.social and Brunel University of London grow. Bunel is a very special project for me.
