Many congratulations to Girish R Mali (@dyneinassembly.bsky.social) and team, awarded the 2025 Ian & Barbara Gibbons Award for their work on the regulation of axonemal dynein motors that power ciliary beating!
The award recognises groundbreaking advances in the Dynein field every four years.

New preprint out 🔥🔥 on my postdoc work with @manuelthery.bsky.social and @lblanchoin.bsky.social about how we can create sustained dynamic steady states of actin network inside microscopic wells that contract "forever" without collapsing! A thread 🧵

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

Our review of Intraflagellar transport is out now! We cover lots of the recent advances in our understanding of IFT, and where we think there are still some gaps.
