It was a pleasure to present our DDX6 co-translational assembly data at the #rna25 meeting. Great to meet so many new people and to see some old faces. A fantastic meeting and looking forward to Montreal in 2026 already!

Interesting position available in our lab looking at how transcription and translation are interconnected. This is a collaborative project with the Mueller lab at Birmingham, funded by the Wellcome Trust.

This is still one of my favorite #dataviz of all time.
It shows how sensitive results are in small samples.
It provides raincloud plots with N=20 (on the left) & N=500 (right).
There is no difference between the two conditions other than the N.

👇Exciting job opportunity👇
Senior Scientific Officer position available to work with me @CRUK_SI on a project interested in understanding how #immunometabolism can influence early cancer development. More details here: crukscotlandinstitute.ac.uk/…
#AcademicJobs – at Airdrie, Scotland
Excited to share two post-doc positions in the Bushell and Norman labs at the @CRUK_SI. The project involves understanding mechanistically how mRNA translation and membrane trafficking influence tumour initiation in the liver. crukscotlandinstitute.ac.uk/…
Fantastic #TRUK as always! Was great to catch up with everyone and see such great talks and posters. I was very excited to present our new DDX6 data and thanks to everyone for all the amazing feedback! Looking forward to the next one in Edinburgh #BiochemEvent

Really pleased to have been involved and happy to share this work showing a critical role of translational regulation by CNOT3 in myeloid leukemia!
Thrilled and proud to share the new paper from the lab @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0… A shout out for the awesome editorial team @NatureComms and reviewers for my best experience with publishing. Grateful to all authors, special thanks to my lab. @ubcpharmacy @BCCancer

🆕Paper by Aldo Bader and Martin Bushell shows for the first time that scars introduced into the DNA sequence following double strand breaks are not just at the break site but also at distance from the damage site

This prevents new postdocs coming to the UK. The ability to attract world-leading researchers here has been precarious for a while but this shuts the door firmly to worldwide talent.
Cancer research relies on scientists; stopping them coming will only serve to stifle progress

#WorldPancreaticCancerDay at the CRUK Scotland Institute @PancreaticCanUK
Excited to share our pre-print describing the essential role of the translation initiation factor eIF4A1 in driving Wnt-driven colorectal cancers biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @CRUK_SI @owen_sansom
Would also like to highlight the following pre-print from the Norman lab showing how the paralogue of eIF4A1, aptly named eIF4A2, is required to accelerate hepatocellular carcinoma initiation

Really lovely story showing how 5'UTR sequences can promote eIF4A1 mediated unwinding of repressive secondary structures. Was a pleasure to be involved and see how the story evolved and so pleased to finally see it out!
Our paper is now online 🙌 doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad030
5'UTR purine-rich motifs deliver eIF4A1 unwinding activity site-specifically into repressive RNA structures of mRNAs encoding proliferative signatures. Well done all @CRUK_BI @CR_Horizons @ILikeHelicases @NAR_Open @RNASociety
