Super excited that my first co-1st author paper is out! Awesome teamwork with @GL_Isom and Nicolas in @BhabhaEkiertLab. Thanks @eLife for the speedy turnaround- accepted yesterday and published today! 😱 check it out here https://t.co/tHMzd1qNjg

[Mark MacRae @_markmacrae]

@GL_Isom @UniofOxford A rockstar! Endlessly proud of you 🤩

[Mark MacRae @_markmacrae]

@lbackman21 So fun! They all turned out so good 🤩

[Mark MacRae @_markmacrae]

@Xagbomson @JCChildsFund @KJArmache @Cisse_lab @mpi_ie @Priyevoo Huge congrats, Stephen!!! So well deserved 🥳

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Excited to share major progress on next generation of AlphaFold! Together with @IsomorphicLabs, we’ve significantly advanced accuracy & expanded coverage beyond proteins to other key biomolecular classes. Continuing to accelerate science at digital speed https://t.co/zmR06BlrQx

[Georgia Isom @GL_Isom]

Excited to share that the first paper from the Isom lab is now available on Biorxiv!
(https://t.co/uJ2QsKIqx3).
We have investigated YhdP at the molecular level to show that it forms an envelope-spanning bridge and that putative phospholipids are found inside this bridge!

Delighted to introduce Dr. Ilmain (@Julianailmain), the newly minted PhD student from the Torres lab @nyugrossman. She crushed her thesis defense yesterday. 🍾. Thanks to the superstar co-mentor team of @BhabhaEkiertLab. Part of her thesis work should be in press very soon.

[Rie Nygaard @RieNygaard]

I’m proud to present our latest work on the #cryoEM structure of the RodA-PBP2 complex in E. coli, which is out in @NatureComms today! In this work we used an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on the structural basis of peptidoglycan biosynthesis.

[James Chen @JamesChenPhD]

Delighted to share that my postdoctoral work in the @BhabhaEkiertLab is now published @Nature , detailing the #cryoEM structure of an endogenous MCE lipid transporter from #mycobacteria. https://t.co/Twg01sh8dj

@MericienVenzon Thanks Mericien! :)

[Mark MacRae @_markmacrae]

Check out the second half of my PhD thesis work, recently published in JBC, here! We utilized a combination of computational and experimental approaches to decipher the transient protein-protein interactions made while transporting lipids across the bacterial cell envelope! 😊

Our work in harvesting the power of AlphaFold in combination with experimental data to understand protein-protein interactions in the bacterial lipid transport system, Mla, is now live on BioRxiv here!! 🎉 Check it out :)

Disappointed that @nyuniversity would deny bonuses to graduate researchers who are among the most vulnerable to economic hardship in the wake of the pandemic & that admin would rather split hairs on semantics of FTEs than support the ppl carrying on their sacred academic mission

[Paige Leary @macrophaige]

This Zoom was the most surreal 90 minutes of my time in grad school. Our head of HR really said that it was hypocritical that Sabatini's accuser (a trainee) wasn't also terminated.

If any incoming students want to chat my DMs are open, and I'm so sorry.

@nyugrossman students and faculty walkout in protest against the hiring of David Sabatini. Our responsibility is empowerment of women in science and guaranteeing a safe and respectful work environment for all.

[Mark MacRae @_markmacrae]

@BriannaNaizir A superstar!!! 🤩

[Georgia Isom @GL_Isom]

I'm hiring a postdoc! If you/someone you know has Structural Biology/Biochemistry experience, and are interested in coming to Oxford to research bacterial membrane proteins, then check it out! See below for links, and please RT :)

[Georgia Isom @GL_Isom]

< 1 month left to apply for a fully funded #PhD at the @Dunn_School @UniofOxford!

Pick the Isom lab to study proteins that build bacterial membranes using #cryoEM #biochemistry and/or #microbiology.

https://t.co/VxluaVkI6m

#Postdoc also available from Spring 2022.

Please RT!

[Mark MacRae @_markmacrae]

So so so excited for my lab bff and the best postdoc mentor ❤️❤️ 🎉

[Georgia Isom @GL_Isom]

Excited to announce that I’ll be joining the @Dunn_School at @UniofOxford on a career development fellowship to set up the Isom lab in early 2022. Thank you to the MANY people who helped me get here. Details about PhD/ postdoc positions to follow 😊.
