Our new manuscript (my first as senior author 🎉). We found that the RNA helicase DDX1 controls germinal centre B-cell maturation through its role in tRNA splicing. If you like the work, consider joining us @BabrahamInst 👉babrahaminstitute.livevacancies.co.uk/#/job/details/…

Please retweet 🙏: 2 @ERC_Research-funded Post-doc positions are available in our lab to investigate #RNA structural ensemble and their dynamics in living cells. Application link: rug.nl/about-ug/work-…
I saw up close how @carovinuesa stood up & spoke out for science and evidence-based policy, in the face of enormous hostility, in the case of Kathleen Folbigg. She continues to do so for others, on top of her day job. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this prize.
Pleased to see that @carovinuesa has been included in the shortlist for the 2024 John Maddox prize "for her work using genetic sequencing to prevent unwarranted accusations of parents that they have harmed their children".

This may well reduce the diversity of thinkers drawn into Medical Research which would be bad for everyone
Disappointed to hear that the MRC senior fellowship is discontinued. My MRC senior fellowship was very important for our research into RNA cap function. It meant that we could transition our biochemistry discoveries into physiology and drug discovery.

Excited to be able to offer a project on post-transcriptional regulation of T cell function in tumours in collaboration with @diunguyen_vn_uk as part of the @CRUKCOLcentre Black Leaders in Cancer programme. Please RT!
Are you interested in doing a #PhD in #cancerresearch & #biotherapeutics? Are you of black heritage? 🔬👩🏿🔬👨🏿🔬🧫🧪 Applications for our 4-year PhD programme for Black Leaders in Cancer are open now! @TheCrick @uclcancer @QMBCI @KingsCollegeLon colcc.ac.uk/black-leaders-…
This is an amazing recognition for the field of post-transcriptional regulation!! Super happy! 🎉
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.
