My lab and I were at the Small G-Protein conference in Manchester last week. Really lucky to work with such a great team. #BiochemEvent #SGP25 @biochemsoc.bsky.social @livunihls.bsky.social

Great to meet old friends and new! Thanks @biochemsoc.bsky.social for supporting this.

Final week for the early bird deadline for the Small G-protein meeting in Manchester. Talk slots available from submitted abstracts. #SGP25 @BiochemSoc @SmallGTPases Register here: bit.ly/SmallG25

A privilege to work with such a talented interdisciplinary team on this. @livuni-livsrf.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social @aliemliv.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Rules of engagement for condensins and cohesins guide mitotic chromosome formation

We used Hi-C, imaging, proteomics, and polymer modeling to define rules of engagement for SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) complexes as cells refold interphase chromatin into rod-shaped mit...

More spacey sketching. Clearly work hasn’t fully ramped up yet.

Great to have a few weeks off and have the chance to draw again.

Happy to see this pre-print online where we supported volume EM needs of this collaborative effort led by the Booth lab to investigate the role of the chromosome periphery in meiosis vs mitosis. #liv-srf www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @livuni-livsrf.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social

The Chromosome Periphery is an Essential Compartment of Oocyte Chromosomes

Chromosomes and their constituent compartments are core elements of the cell division machinery. In mammalian oocytes, defects in the structure or composition of chromosomes are a leading cause of abe...

Fantastic to be visiting the SRFs in University of Glasgow today! Lots of brilliant ideas and inspirational spaces. @ianprior.bsky.social

Fantastic to see so many @livuni-livsrf.bsky.social staff at our LIV-SRF Staff Forum today! Brilliant way to round off a great year, with talks from Peter O’Toole, Sarah Barnett and Nikki George covering ITSS, TSN, the CTLS Exchange Programme and Prof Elizabeth Slater Archeological Research Labs!

We’re launching the LIV-SRF Bioscience Techniques & Research Facility Management MSc! 12-month full time PG programme with extensive hands-on training in our SRFs, as well as the operation & management of core research facilities. Applications open for Sept 2025.

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible! #proteomics #bioinformatics

PhosX is out! doi.org/10.1093/bioi... Leveraging the latest kinase specificity maps by the Cantley, Yaffe, and Turk labs and a rank sum statistic we created PhosX so now we can predict activities for nearly all kinases in your phosphodata, including the understudied ones. Check it out!
