Happy to announce that the Genome Stability Lab (GSL) @MCRCnews @UoM_DCS have achieved the SILVER #LEAF level for lab #sustainability Reducing plastic use, using timer switches or "switch it off" stickers, optimising waste routes, and the ULT at -70C have all helped #greenlabs
Pioneer the future of discovery and innovation with a fully funded Bicentenary PhD Studentship in Biology, Medicine and Health at @OfficialUoM. Find out more: bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/research…
Update: I have a UKRI fully funded PhD studentship in my lab working with Prof. Helen Walden and Dr Panos Kotsantis. If you are interested in ubiquitin signalling and cell cycle regulation/DNA replication stress, please take a look! gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/d…
Excited to share this work led by @CamillaElb where we identify an entirely new role of LUBAC as a critical regulator of AMPK, the energetic stress response, and cellular metabolism. If you are interested in #ubiquitin and #metabolism, have a read: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lots of engaging questions, insights, networking, and candid sharing of career experiences from all the fantastic speakers at the Early Career Symposium! Thankful to @BiochemSoc for organising! #careers #ECR #BiochemEvent
It’s been a great day so far at our Early Career Symposium! We are seeing lots of engaged attendees learning, discussing and networking with expert speakers and their fellow researchers #BiochemEvent
Another packed day of public engagement with 1000s of secondary school kids as part of #NewScientistLive event at the ExCeL arena. Thank you to Joe and Simon for putting the escape room and activities together and everyone who I volunteered with this weekend!
Quick look at around before the mayhem of New Scientist Live today at the ExCeL arena. Another new day tomorrow engaging the public about early cancer detection, risk factors, therapeutics, and treatments. The Escape Room was quite popular too... #research #cancer #science
