This was me with my mom going for an @EMBO young investigator award interview 2 weeks after my son was born. Thank goodness for moms and a quick turn around at the passport office 😆

In our latest preprint on bioRxiv, we present the in situ structure of
the human gap junction at 14 Å resolution using cryo-ET.

The structure provides a blueprint for investigating how connexin
regulation shapes intercellular communication in health and disease.

Our latest story describes the amazing evolutionary battle between malaria parasite and human. The parasite evolved RIFINs to bind inhibitory KIR receptors and suppress immune cell function while humans have activating KIR receptors to bind these RIFINs to kill parasites!

Exciting progress in drug discovery - a cross-disciplinary team including @doryenbubeck.bsky.social, Tate and Kawamura researchers have developed the first macrocyclic peptide inhibitors for CD59 — a tricky cell-surface receptor often hijacked by bacteria.

Did you miss the @doryenbubeck.bsky.social inaugural lecture last week or just fancy re-watching?! 😀

Join Doryen in the fascinating world of proteins, the "tiny machines" that drive cellular functions, using cryo electron microscopy.

Sad news about Karen Davies' passing.
Karen was an inspiration in bioenergetics and cryoET. Her pioneering postdoctoral work on ATP synthase and respiratory supercomplexes marked turning points in the field. I created Scholar profile to acknowledge her contribution
