My lab and I were at the Small G-Protein conference in Manchester last week. Really lucky to work with such a great team. #BiochemEvent #SGP25 @biochemsoc.bsky.social @livunihls.bsky.social

Great to meet old friends and new! Thanks @biochemsoc.bsky.social for supporting this.

Great to have Terri from @kraskickers.bsky.social as our opening speaker at the Biochem Soc Small G-protein conference! #BiochemEvent

Fantastic to be at the @royalsociety.org today celebrating progress and initiatives to support the technician community. @uk-itss.bsky.social @livunihls.bsky.social

Our new LIV-SRF Bioscience Techniques & Research Facility Management MSc programme provides extensive hands-on vocational training to become a technical specialist and core facility manager. Applications open for Sept 2025. More info here: tinyurl.com/jpbyvkkf

Early bird deadline closes on April 30th. We will be selecting talks from abstracts immediately afterwards so please register now!

Rules of engagement for condensins and cohesins guide mitotic chromosome formation We used Hi-C, imaging, proteomics, and polymer modeling to define rules of engagement for SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) complexes as cells refold interphase chromatin into rod-shaped mit...

A privilege to work with such a talented interdisciplinary team on this. @livuni-livsrf.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social @aliemliv.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

More spacey sketching. Clearly work hasn’t fully ramped up yet.

Great to have a few weeks off and have the chance to draw again.

The Chromosome Periphery is an Essential Compartment of Oocyte Chromosomes Chromosomes and their constituent compartments are core elements of the cell division machinery. In mammalian oocytes, defects in the structure or composition of chromosomes are a leading cause of abe...

Happy to see this pre-print online where we supported volume EM needs of this collaborative effort led by the Booth lab to investigate the role of the chromosome periphery in meiosis vs mitosis. #liv-srf

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible!

PhosX is out! doi.org/10.1093/bioi... Leveraging the latest kinase specificity maps by the Cantley, Yaffe, and Turk labs and a rank sum statistic we created PhosX so now we can predict activities for nearly all kinases in your phosphodata, including the understudied ones. Check it out!
