Lorne 2026 is set to be excellent! Especially with a Transporter Satellite Meeting!!

Lots of cool microbiology research coming out of Newcastle- certainly worth a follow if that’s your thing!

🚨🧠🔬 A major breakthrough in molecular neuroscience:

I am excited to share a new story from our lab, published in accelerated format today by @nature.com:

"Delta-type glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels"

Happy to see that Spacedust is now published on Nature Methods!
It combines sensitive Foldseek structure search and conserved neighborhood detection to discover functionally-associated gene clusters in prokaryotic & viral genomes.

This event will be focused on integrative structural biological techniques and limited to 100 attendees.

1/16 New pre-print from the Sternberg Lab!
We uncover how temperate phages can use RNA-guided transcription factors to remodel the flagellar composition of their bacterial host and enhance their fitness.
Find the preprint and full story here: tinyurl.com/mshwjd77

Excited to share our latest preprint "Capsid Restructuring Activates Semi-Conservative dsRNA Transcription in Cystovirus ɸ6". We show that nucleotide-triggered disassembly of the outer capsid layer is followed by expansion of the inner layer and the stepwise assembly of transcription complexes.

@lorneproteins.bsky.social Meeting with the Lorne Protein Committee to plan for the 2026 and future meetings!
@wehi-research.bsky.social

Lovely photo taken at the 50th @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference last week. Gathering included some of the greats from the very first #proteins meeting held at Lorne.

Had a fantastic time at @lorneproteins.bsky.social this week. Was great to see some @scienceanu.bsky.social ECRs take the stage to present their work! @riottowow.bsky.social @corrylab.bsky.social

Happy to have arrived in Sydney after a great @lorneproteins.bsky.social meeting and exciting visit to @wehi-research.bsky.social. Looking forward to my visit on Monday to @sydneyuni.bsky.social and Macquarie University on Tuesday.

And congratulations to Dylan for winning a poster prize!
