Our Section joined the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism Networking Day on Tuesday 1st July - a day packed with Science, Career advice and other fun activities! @ImperialMDR
Congratulations to @LilianeEleid who successfully passed her PhD viva yesterday! Here are some pictures of the post-viva celebrations. Many thanks to Prof David Hodson @daveyboyhod and Dr Bryn Owen @BrynMOwen for assessing her thesis and to David for his visit and Seminar.
Thrilled to now be a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)! Thanks to the Imperial College London STAR team and @AidaMartinezS and @TomasLab_ICL @CellBiolMDR
Our collaboration with the talented Sarah Rouse @ImperialLifeSci now out in bioRxiv: "Human class B1 GPCR modulation by plasma membrane lipids" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our attempt to tag endogenous GIPR in vivo with a Halo-tag biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Here is our Section during its Christmas dinner yesterday, joint with the other 2 Sections of our Division 🧑🎄🎄🥳
PhD Studentship available in the lab of Dr Paras Anand @anandparas at Imperial, in collaboration with me: findaphd.com/phds/project/d…
A postdoctoral position is available in my lab @CellBiolMDR @ImperialMDR to study the subcellular organisation of signalling of the glucagon receptor family. For more information and to apply please click here: imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…
New version of the preprint now in BioRxiv: In vivo functional profiling and structural characterisation of the human Glp1r A316T variant biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The human Glp1r A316T variant exhibits characteristics of constitutive activation but dampened GLP-1RA responses @TomasLab_ICL @imperialcollege biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #T2D #obesity
We are recruiting a postdoctoral research associate! Have a look at the flyer and/or the links below and get in touch if you have any questions! And please, share widely!! imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…
Very proud to share the results of a fantastic collaboration led by the brilliant @NejcHaberman and @BorisLenhard, shedding more light on the characteristics and mechanisms that lead to the generation of 3'UTR-derived mRNAs
Our paper on the origin and properties of elusive 3' UTR-derived capped mRNA fragments is out. Great work by @NejcHaberman in collaboration with @AidaMartinezS, @TheSibleyLab, @GroupLenhard . link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Many congratulations to our very own @OquaAffiong who passed her PhD viva today! @CellBiolMDR @ImperialMDR
Absolutely thrilled to have received funding from the SMF-DUK #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge to work with the awesome @prashant1003 and @Teresa_IDF1 and in collaboration with @LabSancho to look at how my favourite molecules, microRNAs, behave differently between beta-cells (1/2)
(1/2) 🔬The #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge is investing over £2 million into four more #research projects. They're breaking new ground in the search for innovative ways to treat #Type1Diabetes. Find out more 👉 orlo.uk/j2zmw
Thrilled to announce our latest preprint where we characterise the GLP-1R missense variant A316T in vivo in a humanised GLP-1R knock-in mouse and resolve the cryo-EM structure of the variant receptor. Many thanks to @DiabetesUK for funding this study. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Two first class students now with first class MSc distinctions!! @CellBiolMDR
This is amazing news and so great to hear for so many of us that have been inspired by their research! You've got to love miRNAs:)
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
