LMB 365 – Day 275
LMB scientists visited Ely Cathedral for LifeLab last weekend to talk to members of the public about their research on the origin of life and about how cryo-EM works. On day 275 of #LMB365, we see some LMB volunteers carrying the backdrop of the LMB’s Recipe4Life stand out of the cathedral
LMB’s PhD alumnus, Nicholas Ader, wins the Gregory Paul Lenardo Basic Science Award
This award endowed by NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program Co-Founder, Michael Lenardo, was given to Nicholas in recognition of his PhD work conducted in Wanda Kukulski’s lab at the LMB. His work implemented novel imaging techniques in an effort to better understand how a cell dies, and pushed the limits of cellular imaging. More…
LMB 365 – Day 274
Working at the LMB isn’t all about science. One of our administrative staff submitted this image for day 274 of #LMB365. The excellent work of the administrative and facility staff is crucial in facilitating the ground-breaking science that takes place at LMB every day
LMB 365 – Day 273
This beautiful sunset for day 273 of #LMB365 was taken by Georgia Ntatsiou as she left work – luckily for us she had her camera at the ready.
LMB 365 – Day 272
The two amoebae shown here on day 272 of #LMB365 are drinking their surrounding medium by macropinocytosis and contain two different fluorescent proteins, one marking their actin ‘muscles’ and the other a membrane signal (PIP3) that guides where the actin works. These are viewed using a cutting edge light-sheet microscope built by James Manton in the LMB’s Light Microscopy Facility. Successive frames are combined and colour coded to create this scientific art
