Proud to see this work published and really excited to have my first, first author publication!! Thanks to an amazing team!
Absolutely over the moon to have passed my PhD viva last week! Thank you to my examiners for a great discussion @RyanLab_MBU and Jim Stewart and my fab supervisors @sarahjpickett, Ollie and Matt for their support over the last 4 years. Excited to see what the next chapter brings!

🚨Looking for a postdoc! 🚨Excited to recruit a computational researcher to join my lab @YaleGenetics and work on exciting projects in human & mitochondrial genomics, building tools to link genetic variation to disease. Enquiries welcome! Details 👉 thelakelab.org/yale-genetics-…
Excited to share a preprint from my PhD work at @taylorlabncl. In this work, we characterised the pathological role of human COA5 in the early stage of mitochondrial complex IV assembly through complexome profiling. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… A huge thank you to all collaborators!
Wearing blue for #WorldParkinsonsDay2024! Proud to be working in this great team researching Parkinson's - check out some of our latest work identifying reduced circRNA expression in early-stage Parkinson's patients here -> nature.com/articles/s4153… @DiMeN_DTP @MichaelJFoxOrg
Really enjoying my first ever immunometabolism conference. Thanks to everyone who came to chat at my poster last night! @KeysSymp #immunometabolism

Learned so much over an incredible four days at #RNAUK2024 and am so excited to have been awarded the best postdoc talk award. Grateful to have had the opportunity share my work from @WredenbergLab @MolMet_KI with a broader RNA biology audience! Thank you @BCI_RNAHUB!
Check out out latest work looking at circRNAs in PD: nature.com/articles/s4153… -> @b_whittle's first manuscript! Huge thanks to @AlisonYarnall @rachellawson85 @4130chromo @osagie_izuogu @AngPH09 and everyone at @MichaelJFoxOrg, @realmikefox and @ParkinsonsUK
Interested in mitochondria, muscle and innovative imaging techniques? Want to do a PhD? We are looking for a motivated person to take up a PhD position with @UniofNewcastle with @mitomusclelab @bioImaging_NCL and @EMRSncl. Apply here ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/f… @nuact_NCL DM for info
Very happy to share my first paper from the McBride lab @mitodynamics revealing that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can escape into cytosol through “leaky lysosomes” and cause pyroptotic cell death. (1/9) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Parkinson's genes orchestrate pyroptosis through selective trafficking of mtDNA to leaky lysosomes biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio
The Newcastle Mito Team @UniofNewcastle @NewcastleHosps were delighted to come together with everyone for the @4Lilyfoundation Family Weekend! A huge thank you to the Lily Team for organising such an amazing event - it was lovely to catch up with our incredible mito community.
Anyone in the Newcastle area able to act as a listener for my PhD study? You’ll be required to attend a Newcastle Uni building. It will only take around 20mins of your time. Cannot have any experience talking to people with speech disorders.
Incredibly proud of Imogen Franklin from the WCMR @UniofNewcastle who is presenting her PhD research @Euromit2023 today 💚 @DiMeN_DTP #mito #meeting #teamnewcastle
Our girl @ImogenFranklin6 smashing it talking about mtDNA mutations in the blood #Euromit2023
Excited to be attending my first ever euromit! I’ll be presenting my PhD work on selection against pathogenic mtDNA variants in session 1.1 tomorrow afternoon. Can’t wait to see everyone there! #euromit2023
Very happy to share a study from my PhD characterising astrocytic pathology in #Alpers syndrome and #POLG disease, published today in Acta Neuropathologica Communications! actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
