👇 We want you! Don’t miss out on our inaugural "Indigenous Researcher Award" from the Lorne Proteins conference. Full support to attend the 2026 conference. Deadline October 24. www.lorneproteins.org/researcher

Lorne 2026 is set to be excellent! Especially with a Transporter Satellite Meeting!!

Lots of cool microbiology research coming out of Newcastle- certainly worth a follow if that’s your thing!

🚨🧠🔬 A major breakthrough in molecular neuroscience: I am excited to share a new story from our lab, published in accelerated format today by @nature.com: "Delta-type glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels" Read more here (free article link): rdcu.be/eGIKz

Happy to see that Spacedust is now published on Nature Methods! It combines sensitive Foldseek structure search and conserved neighborhood detection to discover functionally-associated gene clusters in prokaryotic & viral genomes. 1/6🧵

Protein people- this is a great conference! Recommended to get your registrations in. 🤩🧬🧶

I was at the Lorne conference several years ago and I have fantastic memories!😊

🥁🥁🥁 The 51st Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function is officially live! After the resounding success of the 50th Lorne Conference in 2025 celebrating five decades of pioneering science and community, the legacy continues... 🏄🏖️🌞 February 8–12, 2026 Register here: www.lorneproteins.org

"Generative Design of High-Affinity Peptides Using BindCraft". New @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social by the group of @sebastianpomplun.bsky.social of our @led3hub.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Cc: @leidenscience.bsky.social, @unileiden.bsky.social

The 3rd NYC Integrative Structural Biology Symposium (#NYCISB25) will be Oct 9-10, 2025. Register today: nyc-isb25.eventbrite.com This event will be focused on integrative structural biological techniques and limited to 100 attendees.

1/16 New pre-print from the Sternberg Lab! We uncover how temperate phages can use RNA-guided transcription factors to remodel the flagellar composition of their bacterial host and enhance their fitness. Find the preprint and full story here: tinyurl.com/mshwjd77

Excited to share our latest preprint "Capsid Restructuring Activates Semi-Conservative dsRNA Transcription in Cystovirus ɸ6". We show that nucleotide-triggered disassembly of the outer capsid layer is followed by expansion of the inner layer and the stepwise assembly of transcription complexes.

📣 Save the date for the 51st Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function! ✨ Lorne, Victoria, Australia. We have a packed program and we'll be sharing all the details here - Like, Follow and Share - because friends don't let friends miss the epic Lorne Proteins 😊 www.lorneproteins.org

We were thrilled to represent PDBe (PDBe.org) at #ISMBECCB2025. A great opportunity to connect with users, collaborators & fellow data enthusiasts alongside our @ebi.embl.org colleagues! Thanks to everyone who chatted with us about proteins, RNA, DNA, ligands & more! #Science #Chemistry #Biology

Crowd favourite @audeber.bsky.social You heard it first @ Lorne Proteins 50th anniversary - the incredible story of bacterial antiphage protein homologs in human, mice, fish... with conserved innate immune function is out now in Science. 🤩🤯 🙌 bsky.app/profile/aude...

@lorneproteins.bsky.social Meeting with the Lorne Protein Committee to plan for the 2026 and future meetings! @wehi-research.bsky.social

Lovely photo taken at the 50th @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference last week. Gathering included some of the greats from the very first #proteins meeting held at Lorne.

Had a fantastic time at @lorneproteins.bsky.social this week. Was great to see some @scienceanu.bsky.social ECRs take the stage to present their work! @riottowow.bsky.social @corrylab.bsky.social

Happy to have arrived in Sydney after a great @lorneproteins.bsky.social meeting and exciting visit to @wehi-research.bsky.social. Looking forward to my visit on Monday to @sydneyuni.bsky.social and Macquarie University on Tuesday.

And congratulations to Dylan for winning a poster prize!

Incredible few days at the @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference, great science, great scenery and of course, great fun! Thanks to the organisers for a super meeting, definitely looking forward to visiting again in the future

... and the winner of our SPIN to WIN competition @lorneproteins.bsky.social 50th Anniversary goes to Prof Glenn King and Alexandra Sundman @VenomsLab! @UQscience @malvernpanalytical.bsky.social @redshiftbio

Awesome session. So great to co-chair with the amazing #NickyDeWeerd at #LorneProteins2025. Happy 50th Lorne Proteins!

had an extremely fun few days @lorneproteins.bsky.social filled with incredible talks, scientific discussion and a non zero amount of silliness

We were just discussing things like this at the @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference. "Founded by DeepMind alumnus, Latent Labs launches with $50M to make biology programmable" techcrunch.com/2025/02/12/f...

WHOA! 😮

Until next time, @lorneproteins.bsky.social ...

See you next year lorne!

Last but not least, thanks to Prof B. Fly for closing comments in Session 11, although they did drone on a bit. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to #LorneProteins2026. The 50th anniversary will be hard to beat!

Very much enjoyed my 4th time at the great @lorneproteins.bsky.social conference! Happy to catch up with @trevor-lithgow.bsky.social, @christhemicrobe.bsky.social, and other old and new friends! Now off to Monash, La Trobe and then Queensland for seminars!

Goodbye @lorneproteins.bsky.social 2025, and thanks for the great conference. I'll miss getting to see hundreds of cockatoos whenever I step outside

#24 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Found this preprint thanks to a talk at @lorneproteins.bsky.social

The battle of the decades is complete. Thank you Leann Tilley for the excellent chairing and all the speakers for a fun session. @lorneproteins.bsky.social

Another year, another poster at Lorne👩‍🔬 & it has to be my 1st post in here! Also @lorneproteins.bsky.social is celebrating 50 years which makes this even more special🥹! Huge appreciation to all the amazing people who visited my poster to chat with me about our recent work on PLD3🫶. #LorneProteins2025

As I begin to approach the end of my PhD journey, what a privilege to be able to go back to the first conference @lorneproteins.bsky.social I attended as a PhD student. I'm grateful for the chance to reconnect with old acquaintances and form new connections. #LorneProteins2025

Beautiful sunrise for the last day of the 50th Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function. Thanks to all the speakers, organisers and participants for making this another fabulous meeting! Save the date for next years meeting: 8-12 Feb, 2026. @lorneproteins.bsky.social

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

#LorneProteins2026 Save the date! Sunday 8th - 12th Feb 2026. Membrane transport satellite!!

@graslab.bsky.social with a much better angle on the stage. Thanks Stephanie!
