😍 Happy International Women's Day 2023 to everyone #IWD2025 More than 100 people of all genders joined us both in person and online, and it was fantastic to see everyone come along to support and listen @limsltu.bsky.social @latrobeuni.bsky.social

Today, we had the honor of welcoming Dr. Kim Good Jacobson from Monash University, Melbourne, to kick off the 2025 CIML seminar series. Kim gave a brilliant talk on "Molecular Regulation of Antibody and Immune Memory Responses to Viral Infections". Thanks @kimljacobson.bsky.social for your visit!

Saturday 8th of march will be International Women’s Day #IWD@work @limsltu.bsky.social #MarchForward Lucky to have some Superstar #WomenInSTEM in my group Meet Dr Emma Grant

🥂🥂🥂AMAZING !!!! Super proud of this two fantastic emerging leaders in #Science so happy to have you both @limsltu.bsky.social and with a very well deserved support from @nhmrc.bsky.social to further develop your research program 🥳🥳🥳 @latrobeuni.bsky.social

Super excited to participate to Victoria Australia Research Forum in Tokyo today at the Australian Embassy ;-) and very honoured to present our work with Japanese colleagues in medical health research @limsltu.bsky.social @latrobeuni.bsky.social @vicgovau.bsky.social #Science #Australia-Japan

It does feels like home 🇦🇺 ❤️ this afternoon we stopped at the Australian Embassy with Brian for a meeting #MedTech #Science #space #biology Australia-Japan collaboration @limsltu.bsky.social

Great to visit Tokyo University this morning and thanks to the Hoshino’s lab for welcoming us !!! Amazing science in a great environment with a perfect view ❤️ thanks for the lunch boxes as well 😉 @limsltu.bsky.social

We have landed in Japan 🇯🇵 @limsltu.bsky.social the LIMS Deputy Directors are in Tokyo !!!! More update soon

Where to next ???

Early detection of pancreatic cancer by a high-throughput protease-activated nanosensor assay. "The assay was optimized to detect all stages of PDAC with better performance than the clinical biomarker CA 19-9." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

In response to the emergence of H5N1 influenza A viruses as a novel pathogen of cattle, a study in Nature Communications shows that pasteurisation of cows’ milk should effectively inactivate the virus, but that it remains infectious in unpasteurised milk. https://go.nature.com/3WRQ8fb 🧪

Sun rising on a beautiful Friday morning @limsltu.bsky.social ❤️

Add this event to your calendar for 2026 @lorneproteins.bsky.social

Sadly this is the end of the @lorneproteins.bsky.social and before we all go back to the lab it’s time to say a few thank you and congrats as well!!!! To our sponsors 👍 🙏

Now we have Ben Gully presenting his work on #Tcell and the special function and structure of gamma delta T cell @lorneproteins.bsky.social

Last session of @lorneproteins.bsky.social 2025 conference on #Proteins structure and mobility and their impact on disease. Starting with Chi-Min Ho talking about #malaria

Great session this evening at @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference, walking memory lane and celebrating 50 years of amazing science, friendship, collegial meeting that welcomed so many outstanding researchers working on proteins!!! Great photos shared by those who contributed to its success 🥂🎉😉🔬

@limsltu.bsky.social members at @lorneproteins.bsky.social @latrobeuni.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉

Light-ning Talks #LorneProteins2025 Taylor Szyszka Engineering carbon-fixing protein cages. Carboxysomes are great, but encapsulins can assemble a uniform cage around any target tagged with a cargo peptide at C term. 42 nm across. Carboxysome mimic with encapsulin? Encapsulating rubisco.

Short and fast lightning talk with 3 beautiful stories from Gökhan Tolun on “How Cryo-EM Structures Reveal Molecular Mechanisms of Biomolecular Complexes” at @lorneproteins.bsky.social Not only amazing science but also an excellent and very engaging speaker with beautiful protein structures!!!

Light-ning Talks 🥁 sponsored by ANSTO. Alice (Jeeeun) Shin. C. albicans multi drug transporter. Cdr1 cryoEM ANU Centre for Advanced Microscopy. Asym architecture ATP sensing motif and asym mechanism. 3D prob analysis in cryoSPARC. Separate functional states for insights into transport mechanism. ⚡️

Start of @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference session on “light-ning talks” 🎉😉

IUPAC Global Women's Breakfast at #LorneProteins2025. Held annually on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with the aim to establish an active network of people to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science! Thanks to Frances Separovic for organising ✊️

Day 3 of @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference Happy international Women and Girls in Science day !!! Starting with an early breakfast for women organise by this year Leach Lecturer 😉☕️🎉

Last session of @lorneproteins.bsky.social day 2 is a display of high caliber ECRs talks with the Anders awards. Nice way to end today’s talks before a late poster session 🥂

Michael Healy is first speaker of the Anders early career investigators session. The scientists of the future (and the present!).

Great job by the #PhD students Georgia, Lawton, You Min and Sam from our lab from @limsltu.bsky.social at the @lorneproteins.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍

Steve Harrop is remembered by Charlie Bond after his sad passing in 2024.

#LorneProteins2025 Alisa Glukhova-Sparrow Session: PORCN as regulator of Wnt signalling. Does it oligomerise? No. Thermostability enhanced with C59. Amenable to cryoEM? 34 mG/mL!! 2.4 Å resolution. Active site still occupied in the apo purified protein. Extremely rigid. Rotation of a Trp +/- inhib.

Day 2 of @lorneproteins.bsky.social is well underway !!!! With our second session with the Sparrow session and a fantastic line up of speakers!!!!

@limsltu.bsky.social is proudly sponsoring the parents room for everyone with little ones to enjoy the conference @lorneproteins.bsky.social And super happy to have our new programs on display as well (thanks Jess) 🎉🎉🎉

So thrilled to be hearing from Frances Separovic on “Breaking barriers with antimicrobial peptides” at the Leach Lecture tonight at @lorneproteins.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉

Lab office for the next few days while attending #LorneProteins @lorneproteins.bsky.social Just waiting for the sun to join the party as well 😉

Kicking off #LorneProteins2025 with Olga Boudker putting AV through their paces! Glu transporters 30 Å elevator transport - Bidirectional, dependent on sodium gradient direction. Ancestral gene prediction. Fresh water ancestor Na binding sites lost. Uncoupled transporters connected to aa metabolism.

@limsltu.bsky.social very happy to support the parents room at Lorne Proteins 2025 @lorneproteins.bsky.social

Here we are !!!! Start of #LorneProteins 2025 conference So happy to have almost all the lab here

Ever wonder how #Tcell can adapt to so many #influenza strains that can circulate and protect us? Check out some of my beautiful structures just published in #science #immunology @science.org #TcellAreCool ❤️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Back from a long break. And exciting week with the @limsltu.bsky.social retreat day 1 today. Strategy, science and planing for the future !!!!

TCR specificity can be hard to understand. See our latest work showing how dynamic allostery in a peptide/MHC complex can control TCR specificity towards a public neoantigen. Great collaboration with Chris Klebanoff and team at @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #immunosky doi.org/10.1038/s414... 1/7
