Turns out RNA capping regulates mitochondria during T cell activation impacting their function. Guess I better dig out my old biochemistry notes!

Congrats Alison Galloway, Tom MacVicar and @Vichaico

Scientists at the @Robertslab1 @CRUK_SI Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute raised more than £650 for the charity by braving the mud at Pretty Muddy on Saturday. Despite torrential rain the team successfully tackled the challenging course in Strathclyde Park. Huge thanks from everyone @CancerResearch UK for helping to fund lifechanging research 👏👏👏

🐄 NEW | Research from the CVR reveals how #H5N1 avian influenza has adapted to infect bovine cells, contributing to a major outbreak in dairy cattle in North America.

Multiple internal genomic segments of the virus drive its adaptation to bovine cells.

Great opportunity with a fantastic lab

[Dr Amy Shergold (she/her) @AmyShergold]

It was great to be back at @UofGlasgow to talk about my PhD research, experience and sci-comm career. I had really missed talking about dendritic cells!

Very privileged to accept the @UofGCancerSci PhD prize.

Especially loved catching up with @immuno_ed and @Robertslab1 ✨

[Robertslab @Robertslab1]

Really excited to see @DanielWeirIAV getting his exciting work out about how Influenza A spreads cell-to-cell

We report CK2 kinase phosphorylates RNA cap methyltransferase, CMTR1, promoting interaction with RNA pol II and RNA cap formation. CMTR1 phosphorylation impacts ribosome production, IFN responses and influenza infection. @CRUK_SI

Now with link:
I will have two postdoc positions and a technical post in my new(ish) lab in UCL. One biased to wet experiments with chemoattractant gradients, and one more based on modelling and maths. But both posts encompassing both.
Drop me a line!
