Excited to share our paper from my PhD work, where we determined the beautiful structure, not biased, of Bdellovibrio’s major OMP. This revealed a previously unseen pentameric structure.
Want to know more? Then have a read.

Thank you to Andy Lovering, for all your guidance during my PhD and this project and to our other collaborators that supported this project.
Great opportunity if your looking for a PhD in Structural Biology, with my PhD supervisor. Reach out to him if you’re interested and would like to know more!
Apply now! There is an open position for a funded PhD in the lab of Andrew Lovering at @uniBirmingham using structural biology to look at the mechanisms used by bacterial predators.
Deadline: 4 January 2024

Great place for PhD students and early career PDRAs to present their work to peers from beyond your university!
@ccp4_mx Northern Structural Biology Meeting is open for registration! A unique opportunity for Post-Graduates/ECR's to share their research and network.

Great two days at Proteins by Candlelight. Always fun to chat about structural biology with peers and share ideas. Lots of interesting talks & posters. Also, thank you to the organisers for presenting me the Best Poster Prize for my poster on my work on an OMP from Bdellovibrio.
Fantastic 8 days at @EMBLHamburg on the @EMBO Membrane Protein Expression, Purification and Characterisation Course! Loved expanding my knowledge on crystallography of membrane proteins with the beamline scientists and setting up my own LCP trays. (1/2)
Enjoyed the last couple of days at @WellcomeAAMR Symposium, it was great to hear what my peers have been up to and to get an opportunity to share my research as well!
Missing the great views from ESRF last week! 🥲 Great to get to actually go to the synchrotron, remote sessions just aren’t quite the same.
If you haven’t seen this already, check out this beautiful protein structure 😍
There are 202 new PDB entries this week, including this structure of the Human caveolin-1 complex (7sc0), a 'membrane-sculpting' structure which generates curvature in plasma membranes, published in Sci Adv @sciencemagazine. View all new entries: pdbe.org/latest
"I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability."
A true inspiration, I only wished I’d learnt about her when I was at school #RIPRBG
When @dhlexpressuk lose your entire labs samples from the last six months, because science isn’t hard enough during COVID...

An interesting read about the pros and cons of mandating vaccination. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Great talk by Pete today on lipid exchange of the maintenance of lipid asymmetry pathway in E. coli #AAMR
When your lab mate’s paper sparks a great conversation about the importance of collaboration not isolation in science #readthecomments
Brilliant. Another huge breakthrough in the fight against MRSA.
This is what happens when you back British life sciences 👇

Great first time at the JAM talks at UoB today. The first talk on the evolution of Oxa-48 and the second a little further away from home a talk on how CO2 effects fungi in forests.
