The final version of our multispectral microscopy manuscript is now online at Nature Photonics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The main additions are some further comparisons to yet more unmixing algorithms, in which we find that our algorithm is still the most accurate.

So if your a PhD, post doc, newish PI and like imaging plants - this is a great chance to hang out and talk with some experts in a fancy English countryside house

Organised by Alex Johnson and Joe McKenna, who we have had the pleasure of working with at the Gatsby Plant Science Summer School, this is a great opportunity not to be missed!

Just 2 more days to apply for a funded place if you are an ECR

Mosaic evolution of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in fungi Picco et al. take an evolutionary approach to study clathrin-mediated endocytosis in a fungal clade and discover that the process is evolving in a mosaic fashion. The early phase of endocytosis has sh...

How does evolution shape ancient cellular processes? Our new paper uncovers the mosaic evolution of conserved and diverging endocytic traits in fungi!

Interested in imaging plants, then this is a great workshop for you!

We have a great line up of speakers from plant and β€˜outside’ fields, fantastic location and spaces for ECRs to come and join in the fun!
