Thank you @bscb-official.bsky.social for giving me this wonderful opportunity to present my PhD research and connect with other cell biologists from all over the world

It was a huge honour to be able to present my PhD work recently at #DynamicCellVI ☺️ @bscb-official.bsky.social @biochemsoc.bsky.social thank you for having me and thank you for an incredible conference!

Helen Matthews@helenkmatthews.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Fantastic talk by Rachel @rlawson954.bsky.social presenting her PhD work on keratins in mitosis at @bscb-official.bsky.social @biochemsoc.bsky.social #DynamicCellVI 👏👏👏 @mcb-sheffield.bsky.social

Thank you @bscb-official.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to present my research at Dynamic Cell VI. I love all the discussion and questions I received. I also love the fact that I've actually got to meet new people and made new friends, only because of conferences like this ❤️

That's a wrap for #DynamicCellVI Thank you to all presenters for sharing their amazing science. The quality of ECR talks and posters has been outstanding. Thanks to @viji-draviam.bsky.social @matthias-krause.bsky.social & @biochemsoc.bsky.social for organising

Closing #DynamicCellVI with a fantastic keynote talk by Anna Huttenlocher from @uwmadisonmmi.bsky.social showcasing beautiful microscopy of immune cell migration in vivo

@rashmi-priya.bsky.social from @crick.ac.uk is awarded the 2026 BSCB Women in Cell Biology Medal at #DynamicCellVI by @viji-draviam.bsky.social Rashmi delivered a fascinating medal talk about her research on cell and tissue mechanics during heart development.

Its all about membranes at #DynamicCellVI - talks from Tobias Baumgart (UPenn) on shaping endocytic membranes, @kerriemcnally.bsky.social @meganclapperton.bsky.social (LMB) on imaging endosomal sorting, John James (Warwick) on building an actin cortex & Yiming Peng (Durham) on cytoplasmic crowding

It was an absolute honour to win the #BSCB poster prize at #DynamicCellVI ! Its my first ever dynamic cell and I already can't wait for the next one! Make sure to come to our other talk today on using this tech to study endosomal dynamics?

Day 3 at #DynamicCellVI done - disco anyone?

Fantastic talk from our 2026 Postdoc ECR Medal Winner @giuliapaci.bsky.social from @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social at #DynamicCellVI explaining her research on the role of 3D epithelial topology in developmental patterning Congratulations Giulia 👏👏

Eva Simpson (University of Nottingham) is awarded the 2026 Raff Medal PhD Award at #DynamicCellVI by our PhD Rep @harrietasmith.bsky.social, before her fantastic medal talk about her research using 3D-CLEM to study meiotic chromosome organisation Congratulations Eva 👏👏

Next at #DynamicCellVI it's the membranes & trafficking session with talks by Chuanhai Fu (University of Science and Technology of China) on microtubule assembly, Leonard de Boer @ki.se on membrane biophysics in T cell migration & @matthias-krause.bsky.social (KCL) on endophilin-mediated endocytosis
