Masters student Nicolas joins the group for 6 months!
A warm welcome to Nicolas Laugier, who joins us from the University of Montpellier.
New post-doc Wong joins the group!
Chun Hao Wong has joined the lab to work on a collaborative project with AstraZeneca. Welcome Wong!
Mark’s paper on in vitro reconstitution of mRNA transport is published
This paper, initially a biorxiv preprint, is out in eLife. Read the accepted manuscript here.
Alessio’s paper on the regulation of mitochondrial transport in ageing neurons is online!
We show that a decline in mitochondrial transport in ageing neurons can be suppressed by acute activation of PKA, which boosts kinesin-1 expression. Click here for the paper (open access).
Congratulations to Mo for winning a Terry Hart prize at Wolfson College!
PhD student Mo Mofatteh won the best oral presentation prize at the recent Wolfson Research Event. Well done Mo!
Our preprint on RNA-directed activation of dynein is available
We’ve posted a preprint at bioRxiv describing in vitro reconstitution of mRNA transport. We use the system to reveal activation of dynein motility by an RNA localisation signal. Congratulations to Mark and his co-authors.
We have a funded post-doc position available!
Application deadline is 1st March 2018. Please see here for more details.
Welcome to our new PhD student Florence Young!
Florence has joined the lab to work on the formation, maturation and motility of mRNPs.
Our work on LIS1’s regulation of end tracking and processive movement of dynein is published!
Our work showing that LIS1 is a context- and concentration-dependent regulator of the human dynein complex is published. Read the paper here. Congratulations to all involved.
