I've been working on a fast, high-ratio image compressor to try and alleviate the data storage issues myself and some of my colleagues have recently been facing. Before I 'release' version 1, it'd be great to gain some feedback regarding performance and missing features. github.com/jdmanton/rad...

#membranetrafficking seminars are back for the fall session! This Thursday two exciting talks from Roger Pons Lanau from @felixmendu.bsky.social lab and @veijosalo.bsky.social #ER #lipiddroplets and lots of wonderful imaging! From single molecules to cryo EM! Please repost

Super happy to announce that in October I will be joining the University of Warwick as an assistant professor! We will be continuing to examine the molecular mechanisms of intracellular trafficking using a range of samples, including plants and diatoms ⚽️🌱🔬

Excited to share that the Chaaban Lab will be opening in January at the Crick!

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?

Going to #DynamicCellVI ? Be sure to pop by the poster flash talks and poster session on Wednesday to learn how to make any dual-camera microscope multispectral ! If you pop by the poster you can see a cool 3D printed model of the system!

#BlackInNeuro, #BlackInSTEM? Heads up that this fantastic postdoc opportunity opens for applications this month (closing date 17th May). Come and join us at @mrclmb.ac.uk! mrclmb.ac.uk/careers-and-...

Presented our work on developing novel image splitters to enable dual camera simultaneous multispectral imaging with no compromise in spatiotemporal resolution, and the development of modular fluorescent microspheres at #FOM2026 ! Here for longer if anyone wants a chat!

The last time I attended #FOM, I was presenting my PhD work on human tonsils - this time round, I'll be presenting fun quest in the postdoc journey where we (w/ @jamesdmanton.bsky.social and the LMBs mechanical workshop) designed and validated a novel 4-way image splitter! #FOM2026 Mon 30th @ 4:30

So useful!

In preparation for Focus on Microscopy 2026, I cajoled an LLM to build the website below to aid in designing a personal programme of which talks to attend. It'll warn you when you select two talks that occur at the same time and works on mobile with no account. www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/jmanton/fom2...

Deb Roy, Inoue et al. @jhu.edu introduce an #optogenetics tool to rapidly induce #microtubule acetylation in living cells and show that this triggers release of the RhoGEF GEF-H1 from #microtubules, thereby driving persistent directional cell migration. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Cytoskeleton

Antibodies don't work. NLRP3 is by far the most studied inflammasome — yet <30% of commercial antibodies were specific. Only 4 of 14 tested antibodies detected NLRP3 specifically. Antibodies must be validated before use. Full report by @ycharos.bsky.social : zenodo.org/records/1162...

🚨🚨🚨Check out this new preprint from the Löwe lab proposing that microtubule architecture and dynamics evolved in Asgard archaea prior to eukaryogenesis! Happy to have had a little contribution by showing that Asgard tubulin displays a key hallmark of eukaryotic tubulins: dynamic instability! 🚨🚨🚨
