Exciting conference alert! The 93rd Biochemical Society Harden Conference will be on "Endosomal-lysosomal network dysfunction in neurodegeneration" on the South coast of England (1st to 4th of September 2026). Lots of speaker slots available from submitted abstracts so do come and join us!

Our latest preprint is out! We developed an inducible “RapTag” system that uses ENTAC to chemically recruit USP15 to the unstable protein CTLA4. This induced proximity stabilises and slows down the rapid lysosomal turnover of CTLA4. @livuni-ismib.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Targeted recruitment of USP15 enhances CTLA4 surface levels and restricts its degradation.

Induced protein proximity offers powerful new routes to modulate protein fate. While proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) promote degradation through E3 ligase recruitment, the converse principle-...

A great tribute to David Stevens, a terrific cell biologist and missed by so many of his friends and colleagues. As they say 'one of the good guys'. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Remembering David Stephens (1971–2024)

In the autumn of 2024, David Stephens, a prominent member of the UK cell biology community and a brilliant scientist, leader and mentor, passed away. With his pragmatism and natural authority, combine...

Finally my first author preprint at Cullen's lab is out! Amazing collaboration with Kevin and @brettcollins.bsky.social where, by using dedicated proximity proteomics, Biochemistry, crystallography and structural prediction, we show new aspects of human Retromer complex acting as hub for RAB GTPases
