@ZJAyres Thank you very much! Good luck in your new position as chair

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

@ZJAyres This is a wonderful story! I won the first poster prize at this year's EAP and get to write about my research in an article with The Analytical Scientist magazine. I hope my trajectory is even half as successful as yours!

@UKDRI @ucl Researchers @MRC_LMB determined the structure of the molecule associated with ALS (a common form of MND) which could be used as a target for drug development, and developing more effective diagnostic tests: https://t.co/nvHn3J9J3z 📸 @MRC_LMB 3/

@kermitmurray This is my paper, thank you for tweeting about it!

Binding Ub may be preventing UBQLN2 intermolecular interactions that are necessary for LLPS. We hope this work has shown the applicability of IM-MS for studying these systems to shed light on the confirmations of phase separating IDPs. 5/x, x = 5.

I am so thrilled to share that my first, first author paper is now available to read in JACS!
I couldn't have done it without my incredible supervisor @rebeccabev5 (and twitterless Waters supervisor Jakub). This work was born out of a wonderful 1/x

We then moved towards disruption of LLPS by adding ubiquitin, UBQLN2's cellular binding partner which was shown previously by @Castaneda_lab. We observed binding of Ub to UBQLN2 dimers and observed more compact geometries for complexes compared to UBQLN2 alone. We proposed 4/x

@marpineda17 @pintofscience It was such a wonderful talk, thank you!

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

@Castaneda_lab @ASN_RSC @pollysaccharide Thank you very much! 😁

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

This weekend at EAP 2023 was a great time for the Beveridge group and showcasing our research. I won best poster prize, Izaak won runner up poster prize and Cara won best poster pitch! @ASN_RSC

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

@Joris_Van_Lindt Congratulations! I would be very interested in reading your thesis 😁🎉

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

@dr_odedra @ASN_RSC @pollysaccharide Thank you so much! We're all very chuffed 😊🎉

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

@ASN_RSC Thank you for the wonderful weekend and also for the prize! Can't wait to come back next year

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

@AndreaSoranno @jcubuk Congratulations Jasmine!! 🎓🍾

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

We also support the need for multiple tea, coffee and snack breaks throughout the day!

[Christina Robb @ChristinaGRobb]

Come join us as a PhD student to research some very interesting biological systems, you may even get to work with me on the ever evolving UBQLN2 project!
We're a tight knit research group who believe that people do their best science when they are well supported 😊
