⏰ Reminder: French Kinase Conference, Nov 9–10, 2026, @iecb.bsky.social Bordeaux. fkc2026.sciencesconf.org Registration from just €80 thanks to our sponsors' support, so more students can attend & present their work (Oral & Poster)! 📅 Abstracts: Oct 2 · Registration: Oct 16 🔗

🧬 Announcing the French Kinase Conference - 1st edition! Nov 9–10, 2026, @iecb.bsky.social We aim to bring together the French community of biologists, structural biologists, and medicinal chemists working on protein kinases. 🔗 fkc2026.sciencesconf.org #Kinases #cellsignaling #DrugDiscovery

We have a fully funded studentship to start your PhD in October 2026! Work with me, Elton Zeqiraj and Joe Cockburn to find new ways to treat diseases with high levels of Hedgehog signalling. Fantastic training in cell and structural biology, genomic screening and biochemistry at the Uni of Leeds!

This one is a bit of a departure from the usual and definitely a work in progress! We found that by using ab initio reconstruction at very high res, in very small steps, we could crack some small structures that had eluded us - e.g. 39kDa iPKAc (EMPIAR-10252), below. Read on for details... 1/x

Flying start to the #iubmbkinases meeting in beautiful Queenstown, NZ. Jubilee Award from IUBMB to Kevan Shokat yesterday, and a kinase masterclass from Susan Taylor this morning

New research in Science greatly expands the potential target scope of molecular glues and should stimulate the development of new small molecules that can selectively target therapeutically relevant proteins for degradation. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/44uRorm

Fascinating and diverse programme of talks at the joint Autophagy UK and @ukproteostasis.bsky.social meeting in Dundee this week! & super happy to have the chance share our #pseudoligase work 📣

🎉 New paper out in Science! In collaboration with Marc Therrien’s lab, we show how oncogenic BRAF mutants adopt a pre-active conformation, escaping auto-inhibition and driving RAS–ERK pathway activation in cancer. Proud to have contributed! #IRIC #CBMN @iecb.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social

BRAF oncogenic mutants evade autoinhibition through a common mechanism

Uncontrolled activation of the rat sarcoma (RAS)–extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) pathway drives tumor growth, often because of oncogenic BRAF mutations. BRAF regulation, involving monomeri...

With less than a month to submit abstracts for the @iubmb.bsky.social Focussed Meeting on (pseudo)Kinases in stunning Queenstown, we are delighted to announce travel scholarships for selected ECRs thanks to @biologists.bsky.social and the Maurice and Phyllis Trust! www.ivvy.com.au/event/IUBMB25/

We are recruiting 🤩🤩🤩!!! If you are looking to establish ylur lab in a multidisciplinary institute with state-of-the-art facilities, horizontal structure and diverse faculty, apply!!!

A few more days to apply for postdoctoral positions in my group. We investigate : - tau amyloid formation at a molecular level - tau LLPS - tau-spliceosome interaction in tauopathies. More info here : www.fichou-lab.cnrs.fr/en/home

Reminder - still one month to apply to be a tenure track group leader at MRC LMB. Please do reach out for any information.
