🧬🧪 A research technician position - Protein Biochemistry (6 months) is available in my lab @gdsc-sussex.bsky.social investigating structure and function of fusion kinase complexes in Leukaemia.

📅 Deadline: 29th September 2025.

🙏 Please share with anyone who might be interested.

So pleased to see my PhD project published, great work by everyone involved! Together we uncovered how regulation of the BTRR complex is crucial to protect centromeres during mitosis.

#New-Paper Rass laboratory reveal DNA2 to be a gatekeeper to homologous recombination at stalled DNA replication forks, rrequired to stave off cellular senescence. Their findings provide a molecular explanation for the association of DNA2 with primordial dwarfism and cancer.

Great start to 2025. Tumor hypoxia promotes immune evasion by autophagy-mediated downregulation of MHC class I expression leading to reduced antigen presentation. Great work from @halaestephan.bsky.social www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Today we celebrate our inspirational co-director Professor Melanie Flint m as she gives her inaugural lecture @brightonuni.bsky.social
An incredible scientist, leader, mentor, and all around amazing person.

Co-directors @humphreylab.bsky.social and @siftw.bsky.social were at Parliament today, celebrating 20 years of Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and working to make sure cancer research is at the centre of the next 20 years. @sussexuni.bsky.social @brightonuni.bsky.social

Great to join you here today and looking forward to some blue sky science chat!
