Uncovering the hidden complexity behind the brain’s master clock
Study of body clock proteins led by Nicola Smyllie in Michael Hastings’s group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, reveals that PER and CRY, key body clock proteins, act more independently than previously thought, challenging long-held understanding of our body’s circadian rhythms.
A colder frontier: cryo-EM at liquid helium temperatures
New specimen supports, designed by Chris Russo’s group in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, solve decades-long question on how to use liquid helium in cryo-EM to reduce radiation damage and improve information capture.
Emmanuel Derivery on winning the Hooke Medal, how to manage an inter-disciplinary research group, and the exciting field of protein design
Emmanuel Derivery, Group Leader in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division, speaks to the Journal of Cell Science on the motivations behind his career as a researcher studying fundamental cellular processes, his international collaborations in the field of protein design, and the advice he’d give to scientists looking to start their own research groups.
