Cryo-tides: synthetic peptides for cryo-EM grid preparation of multi-subunit protein complexes sensitive to the air-water interface
Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has enabled rapid progress in structural biology throughout the last decade. However, cryo-EM sample preparation still represents a major bottleneck in high-res...

With Eugene Koonin, we propose a concept of “the selfish ribosome”, under which evolution of life is viewed as a ribosomal takeover, where the ribosome evolved to consume most of the cell’s resources, while other cellular componentry ensures the propagation of the ribosome. arxiv.org/abs/2602.23268
An early Christmas present! The ICR’s new Hydra Bio FIB-SEM has been delivered, which will sit at the heart of a consortium between the @icr.ac.uk, Imperial, QMUL and KCL. Currently being stored at Imperial, it’ll be installed in a brand new lab at the ICR next year. Exciting things coming in 2026!🔬
Always a pleasure to share the work we're doing at the ICR and have some great discussions about the importance of structural biology in cancer research! 🔬
The Institute of Cancer Research@icr.ac.uk · 2y agoIt was fantastic to host our local MP, Ben Coleman @chelfulhamben.bsky.social at our Chelsea campus last week 🥼🧪 We introduce Ben to our scientists working in our Division of Structural Biology and Division of Cell and Molecular Biology 🧵⬇️
