We are hiring - two postdocs available in amyloid research @astburycentre.bsky.social with @naranson.bsky.social Deadline March 8th Structural biology (cryoEM/ET) and cell biology/ biochemistry To apply see Leeds jobs website jobs.leeds.ac.uk/VM/Applicati... jobs.leeds.ac.uk/VM/Applicati...

It was graduation day on Friday! A fitting celebration for a very enjoyable cryoET PhD experience with @drrenefrank.bsky.social @radford-lab.bsky.social @jenkinsjj.bsky.social @astbury-bsl.bsky.social and the team 🎉🎉

See our latest paper on BAM action. Great work to the team and super collaborations with @naranson.bsky.social @antoncalabrese.bsky.social and @Jean Francois collet. Have a read rdcu.be/eJjDp

Molecular insights into how the motions of the β-barrel and POTRA domains of BamA are coupled for efficient function

Nature Communications - BamA is the catalytic core of the BAM complex, which inserts proteins into bacterial outer membranes. Here, the authors show that hinge flexibility between BamA’s...

Our review on CPEB and memory published today- thanks to all authors. Enjoy the read

Delighted to see Jon Machin's lovely OMP folding and assembly work on the front cover of JMB (doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2025.169346) and in this Faraday Discussion article (doi: 10.1039/d4fd00180). Congratulations on your great work Jonathan!

Interested in amyloid polymorphs? Our latest paper with PhD student Jack Connor is just out. Have a read and do try out his analysis on your favourite amyloid structures! doi.org/10.1016/j.st...

Delighted to share our latest paper on OMPs and the effects of their interactions on OMP catalysis in the bacterial outer membrane. The latest super work from Jonathan Machin. See doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...

Great day celebrating Katy Dewison’s PhD. Good luck in all you do in the future Katy in your postdoc at Aarhus. We will miss you’

Super FASEB meeting on protein misfolding and amyloid fibre polymorphs in Phoenix Arizona. Hot science and a hot place (45C)! Katy and Jack did a great job presenting their data in talks and posters.

So proud our lab was awarded Gold LEAF status for sustainability. Thanks to Nasir Khan, Tabitha Howe and @antoncalabrese.bsky.social for making it happen for us all! Keep up the good work!

Two prizes in one day! So proud of Maddie Gilbert and Katy Dewison who each was awarded a prize for their PhD thesis work in the Faculty of Biological Sciences on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease respectively.

Beautiful and inspiring talk by Sheena Radford of the @radford-lab.bsky.social at the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology (@astbury-bsl.bsky.social) from the University of Leeds (@universityofleeds.bsky.social) at our annual Bijvoet Symposium!

Honoured to sign the book to become an international member of the National Academy of Sciences. Proud to receive this in recognition of all the work of many group members and collaborators over the years. Thank you all.

Our commentary on flow and amyloid formation published today www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2504573122

At last our paper is out at JACS and we made the front cover! Thanks to Phospho animation for the image. See doi.org/10.1021/jacs....

Had a wonderful time at ADAM10 in Gothenburg with old and new friends! Thank you for a great 3 days of amyloid science.

Looking forward #ADAM10 kick-off 🇸🇪 3 days of all things amyloid and great opportunity to meet old friends and making new ones! Thanks @professorpernilla.bsky.social and Elin Esbjorner et al for such a great program. Reach out if you are around www.chalmers.se/en/conferenc...

Just some of the amazing scientists @universityofleeds.bsky.social in FBS, #international women’s day

Proud to be part of this great article with @ldaubrey.bsky.social . Of interest to all working on amyloid polymorphs see doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2025.169008

Delighted our latest paper on amyloid polymorphs is published in JACS- doi 10.1021/jacs.4c16743. Well done all- very proud!

Super visit to UTSWCentre for Alzheimer and Neurodegeneration yesterday and to see Nikos Louros- a great host in a frozen and cold Dallas!
