LMB 365 – Day 203

Published on 22 July, 2019

Day 203 of #LMB365 from Kevin Takaki in Lalita Ramakrishnan’s group shows macrophages attacking and encasing a parasite schistosoma egg within a larval zebrafish. Schistosoma, known as blood flukes, are parasitic flatworms responsible for a significant group of infections in humans. They infect and lay their eggs within the vasculature of their human hosts and the eggs and the host immune response to these are a major cause of pathology.

When viewed as a whole, the LMB building is impressive. Just as dramatic though are the glimpses seen as you enter/exit the building on a daily basis. This view for day 202 of #LMB365 captures the reflection of one of the towers in the glass-clad exterior of the building, taken from one of the side doors by our Head of Health & Safety on a sunny day.

Richard Henderson was born on this day in 1945, in Edinburgh. Day 200 of #LMB365 shows Richard overlooking the atrium of the LMB building. It was during his time as LMB Director that the plans for a new building were launched. Richard was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his development of cryo-EM

LMB 365 – Day 199

Published on 18 July, 2019

Day 199 of #LMB365 shows the new signage for the LMB Stores before it was installed. The team processes approximately 300 parcels a day and Stores holds a stock of approximately 650 different items that are issued over the counter. LMB alumni will well remember the queues down the corridor of the old building while waiting to be served. Luckily the new building has allowed processes to be improved and the days of chatting in the queue are long gone…

LMB 365 – Day 198

Published on 17 July, 2019

Protein samples need to be rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen so they can be stored without degrading. While freezing samples, Christina Heroven and Patricia Brown were surprised to see the tubes forming a perfect circle within the container as seen here on day 198 of #LMB365
