As 2025 draws to a close, and we sign off for the Xmas New Year break, with @sussexcancer.org we review another great year for the Sussex Blood Cancer Research Network. With more exciting news to announce soon, here’s to a pleasant and fruitful 2026 🥂 sussexcancer.org/news/sussex-...

Now out in Science! Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of the cell cycle. In @vcushing.bsky.social's magnum opus, we use #cryoEM to figure out how the CDK-activating kinase recognises CDKs to fully activate them - a key step in cell cycle control. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our Co-Directors Prof @chrispepper68.bsky.social and Dr @rhysmorganlab.bsky.social explain the mission and vision for the Sussex Blood Cancer Research network. @sussexcancer.org @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social @biochembiomeduos.bsky.social

👩‍🔬 We’re hiring! Join a dynamic team driving innovation in blood cancer research at the University of Sussex. Collaborate with experts, grow your skills in protein biochemistry, and contribute to vital discoveries. 👉 Apply here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOP599/r...

Co-directors @humphreylab.bsky.social and @siftw.bsky.social were at Parliament today, celebrating 20 years of Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and working to make sure cancer research is at the centre of the next 20 years. @sussexuni.bsky.social @brightonuni.bsky.social

While our new sciency stuff is not quite ready for sharing, the outputs of my other imaging activities are. So, I will post a few of my photographs in this thread over the coming days. Thanks to @nucleosomepolice.bsky.social for the encouragement. 😉 We start with Albert Bridge in London.

If you’re making a starter pack, take a quick look at its demographics. Worth a bit of consideration!

For people interested in chaperones, protein quality control, proteostasis and cellular homeostasis, here is the link of the webinars we (P. Goloubinoff, A. Barducci, N. Nillegoda and I) hosted during the COVID pandemics. A lot of material! tinyurl.com/27y5wpzy

I made a starter pack for people interested in signal transduction! Please include yourself or others! Tagging a few people to spread the word: @drstarbird.bsky.social @fantauzzolab.bsky.social @alextoker.bsky.social go.bsky.app/MVvjypg
