🎊 Thesis paper #2 is officially out! 🎊

Building on our knowledge of CypA's localisation to the midbody and the important (but unknown) role it plays in cytokinetic abscission, we identified Sept2 as a novel interacting partner through which CypA may ...

... A big thanks to all involved in this work, including Dr David Matallanas in @sysbioire, our collaborators in @umontpellier, and especially a big thanks to @KieranB_UCD and Dr Margaret Mc Gee for pushing this through.

... mediate cytokinetic abscission, with loss of CypA and its isomerase activity leading to a delay in Sept2 dynamics at the midbody during cytokinesis -- seeing these Sept2 dynamics for the first time under the microscope was definitely a highlight of my PhD! 😍🔬 ...

.. substrate of Nek2. Yay mitosis! 🔬
Huge thanks to @KieranB_UCD and Rebecca Sheridan for helping to push this over the finish line, and of course my PI Dr Margaret Mc Gee for being so patient during the reviewing process.

🎊I’m a published woman!🎊

Delighted to finally have some work from my PhD published, it’s definitely felt long overdue! We found that CypA’s phosphorylation status plays an important role in its localisation from the centrosome to mid-body, and identified it as a novel..

Oocytes rely on maternal mRNAs for development into healthy eggs. But where and how are these mRNAs stored?

Our latest work in @ScienceMagazine shows that mammalian oocytes store mRNAs in a mitochondria-associated membraneless compartment (MARDO). https://t.co/kZehsBRKxb (1/9)

It’s definitely been a fun couple of weeks of time off (covid interruption aside), but I’m happy to say I’ve just finished the first week of my new industry job and so far so good!

Excited to be back doing some science, albeit in a very different capacity 👩‍🔬

[Dr Rebecca Gorry @GorryRebecca]

@Shaka1277 @ChemConnon Oh no! Hopefully that’s the worst of it and you’ll start to feel better soon 💜

2 years and multiple vaccinations in to all this, I’ve finally been caught 🤧
Happy to report though that my symptoms aren’t horrendous (just like a bad cold with a raspy cough), fingers crossed this is as bad as it gets! 🤞
.. And that I don’t take @ChemConnon down with me 😅

[Dr Rebecca Gorry @GorryRebecca]

@gorry_pat @ChemConnon Haha sure this is it, @ChemConnon’s on hot whiskey and Lemsip duty 😂🥃
