The first paper from the Robson lab and a wonderful team effort with our international collaborators. Through a lot of detective work, we unravel an important artifact, Ab-trapping, that leads to profoundly misleading signal in both microscopy and genomics. Absolutely worth a read!

Excited to announce the Emerging Innovators Fellowship for outstanding scientists of black heritage @mrc-lms.bsky.social If you’re interested in applying & have a passion for cell cycle control or quiescence, do get in touch Please circulate!

Many congratulations to Paulina Bryjka from the lab for winning the first Poster prize at the PGR research conference and to have managed to excite the entire College about the beauty of human centromeres. Such a proud supervisor!

What pays off if the goal is to secure a faculty position in academia. Emphasises big papers and post-doc career rather than PhD. Not surprising but unfortunately puts even more emphasis on hitting a breakthrough paper rather than building persistently certain research direction.
