Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c

Interested in iPSCs, astrocytes, and neuroinflammation? Looking for a PhD? Then you might be interested in this! We have a PhD project available with @LACrompton80 on the
@SWBio_DTP
programme.
You can find details here: findaphd.com/phds/program/ph…
Let me know if you’re there and I’ll search for you and follow
Hello Everyone.
Time to move away from Twitter?
See you at @bluesky ?

A bit late to the game my PhD work was published last week with work from the legendary @LabCollinson (with @IanofBristol & @alvipur), @the_gold_lab and @DaumLaboratory in @Biochem_Journal and my artwork made the cover! Check it out!

ALT Feb2023 BiochemicalJournal cover depicting the bacterial secretion machinery (within the lipid membrane, grey), showing the recruitment of chaperone SurA (orange) to help protein substrate (black) translocate through the protein-channel (magenta) via association with ancillary translocation components SecDF-YidC (green and yellow). Translocation of the peptide through the channel is aided by ATP hydrolysis by SecA ATPase (translucent red) and potentially movement of protons (H+) through a proton-wire in SecDF (green) down an electrostatic and concentration gradient.
We were very busy today at @LabCollinson and @GirishRMali lab.
Hopefully we have said goodbye to our phage problems during the last weeks👋

Will's (@Murmeth @LabCollinson @BristolBiochem) new paper with @DanielWWatkins @RobinCorey1 @sofiaol43489629 and @cooklabuoonz, Kiel Hards (@otago). His magnum opus, literally years in the making towards a mechanism for ATP and PMF-driven protein secretion

@DanielWWatkins' (@BristolBiochem @LabCollinson) new paper is out! A potpourri of interactions around the bacterial Sec translocon - now for submission *. Thanks to our funders @BBSRC

Our first steps towards the mechanism of mitochondrial protein import.
Awesome effort by Holly Ford (now banished to a one month holiday) and William Allen of @LabCollinson @BristolBiochem
Will undergo another refinement before peer review. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Next up is our 'First person' interview with Amber Knapp-Wilson on work she performed during her PhD @LabCollinson @BristolUni @BristolBiochem, studying mitochondrial structure and function: ow.ly/IGGA50FC4oF

We are finally enjoying our long-planned lab retreat on Dartmoor @the_gold_lab , @LabCollinson, @DaumLaboratory and twitterless Thomas Meier. Great fun!
Excited to welcome @Mikisle00 to our lab for the summer! Miki will be researching the Sec and BAM translocons 🦠🦠

Welcome to Harry Fancy who has started his Genetics Society Summer studentship with Anna Chambers, Megan Hiseman, the recipient of the E6V summer studentship working in Paul Race's lab this summer & @Mikisle00 who has started a @wellcometrust summer studentship with @IanofBristol

We have had a couple of PhD students complete their viva examinations recently. Many congratulations to @LucyTroman (@LabCollinson) and Barbara Gorda (@Berger lab) on passing your vivas. Well done to you both on completing in style despite these challenging times.
Congratulations to our EM pro @LucyTroman on passing your Ph.D viva! You’ll be sorely missed, all the best for the future.

Latest work from @LabCollinson @BristolBiochem - by team #mitochondria - amazing collaborative effort (@the_gold_lab , Patty Kuwabara, Paul Verkade and Andrew Halestrap) driven by Dr Amber (Knapp-Wilson) @MitoPereira_GC journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

Yay go @SophieL_Wills! You can also read more about her work on bacterial protein transport here: collinsonlab.squarespace.com… (shameless plug 😂)
📢OUR STUDENTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT📢
@SophieL_Wills at @BristolUni is investigating the transport of proteins through the cell envelope in bacteria 🦠 using electron microscopy 🔬 and biochemical methods! #bacteria #electronmicroscopy
