We are very proud that Florence has been awarded the BSCB Raff Medal, which recognises outstanding PhD research and wider contributions to the scientific community. You can read more about the award here.

Razina has joined the group having previously worked as a research assistant in Venki Ramakrishnan’s group at LMB. Welcome to the lab!

Congratulations to Yaiza for being awarded a Leathersellers’ scholarship from Fitzwilliam College.

Lucas has joined us to work on mRNA trafficking in human cells. Welcome to the group!

Florence’s work in collaboration with the Van Damme group (originally a biorxiv preprint) has been published in Science Advances. Paper is available here.

Our work with AstraZeneca and the Carter group on small molecule inhibitors and activators of dynein-based transport is published (free full text version here).

We are really pleased that Yaiza decided to join us. She will be studying mRNA trafficking in mammalian cells.

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).

PhD student Mo Mofatteh won the best oral presentation prize at the recent Wolfson Research Event. Well done Mo!
