Really excited to be back in my home away from home, Berlin, for my first conference in Germany:
"Life at the Edge: The nuclear envelope in nucleocytoplasmic transport and genome organisation"
Really looking forward to it!
Come work at Nature Methods! A dream job. I know from experience 😄

As part of an exciting new development in infection research within the Blizard, I’ll be a Group Leader, Academic Lead of the Blizard Advanced Light Microscopy (BALM) Facility and soon take up a Senior Lectureship.
Hugely excited to work with this!

Great to be back in my Alma Mater.
Great to see this out! And very fitting the last publication from my PhD is in a @microbiologysociety.org journal. Who played a significant role in supporting my EARLY early career!

We wrote a protocol to quantify plasma membrane fluidity using a confocal microscope 🔬
Hopefully those interested in measuring membrane biophysical properties in live cells find it useful.
We also provide an ImageJ/Fiji tool to make the analysis as easy as possible.

Bring your samples into focus! A new version of the #Cellpose cell boundary mapping tool, developed at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social by @computingnature.bsky.social and @marius10p.bsky.social, now works on less-than-perfect microscopy images that are noisy, blurry, or undersampled.

Expansion microscopy identifies novel asymmetric pore proteins. The images show proExM of cell lines co-expressing epitope-tagged versions of NUP76 (top; magenta), NUP149 (middle; magenta), or NUP140 (bottom; magenta) in combination with NUP110 (green). Images were deconvolved (20 iterations for NUP149 and NUP76; 60 iterations for NUP140) and single planes of the nuclei are shown.
How is transport directionality achieved through the #trypanosome nuclear pore complex? The current model is symmetrical, but this study reveals that the trypanosome #NuclearPore has an asymmetrical architecture, with conserved hubs that direct mRNA transport 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3Q36QV2

7 years ago this week.
I was a green PhD student off to do a stint in the Suzuki lab at the CZC @hokkaido-univ.bsky.social.
Living in Sapporo was like a dream. The excitement for research I witnessed and found in this place was my inspiration to pursue a life in academia!
Beautiful work!
