Proud to be on the ‘Equal Dose’ podcast from @WebsEdge_Med talking about #organdonation. It was wonderful to share Sam’s story, @LLTGL, and was very humbling to hear about the Billy Moon Foundation, NYC. A thought provoking episode available here: youtu.be/9UAruhx2vk0?si…
It was a pleasure to be invited on the ‘Agents of Tech’ podcast from @WebsEdgeTV to talk about how AlphaFold3 is transforming structural biology and biomedical research. Link to the episode below: youtube.com/watch?v=ohKGM6…
One week left to apply for a cryoEM facility manager position @SussexUni If you want to be an integral part of the growing community of researchers imaging the molecules of life in human disease then this is the job for you! jobs.sussex.ac.uk/job/0fc71993-6…
🚨 We are looking for a new cryoEM 🔬 facility manager @SussexUni This is fantastic opportunity to work with leading researchers (like us @GDSC_Sussex) who want to observe the molecules of life and better understand human disease. newscientist.com/nsj/job/140204…
Very excited for my first day as a Lecturer in Genome Stability/PI @GDSC_Sussex to start a new lab focussing on DNA damage checkpoint control using structural biology. A career dream come true!
Grateful to be featured on the @BBCTheOneShow tonight showcasing the important work of @LLTGL and the @MightyOrgamites in promoting organ donation awareness in primary schools. Despite the law change @NHSBT stats released today show consent rate has dipped.




Follow the science they said. I did and it took me to Cancun, Mexico….fantastic to be here for the @Fusion_Conf 6th DNA Repair/Replication Structures & Cancer #DRRSC24

Up next @Yates_luke showcasing his work on recruitment and activation of the checkpoint kinase MEC1/ATR… group activity and lunch break pending in the beautiful Mexican sunshine ☀️ #DRRSC24

🥹 my favourite proteins, ATM and ATR, are PDB molecules of the month!
August Molecule of the Month: Dividing cells use ATM and ATR kinases to respond to DNA damage. pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/284
Check out our latest review in @repair_dna from the @zhang_imperial on the checkpoint kinase Mec1/ATR, the structural basis for regulation, and how phosphorylation is important for cellular function. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S15…
Our latest work on the DNA damage response published in @PNASNews is now showcased on Kudos. Check it out here: growkudos.com/publications/1…
