Very happy to share the news that the work from my DPhil is now published! Grateful to have worked with such a wonderful group of people on this work.
Cryo-EM structure reveals how influenza A virus NEP binds the viral polymerase at a regulatory hotspot, coordinating RNA synthesis and nuclear export. Great teamwork of @RepAlison @FangzhengWang @Husky17146986 @CarriqueLoic @jonathan_grimes science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Happy to be able to contribute to this work! Go check out our new pre-print!
We know eukaryotes and bacteria encode #ESCRT proteins, but what about viruses? Our new preprint suggests they do! doi.org/10.1101/2024.01.04.5… 🧵on HCMV's pUL71 novel VPS4 recruitment motif, plus figures from the paper reimagined by Taylor Swift because, well, why not? #LoveVirology

Congratulations Stephen, such exciting news! Having had you as a mentor myself, I know how lucky your students will be to have you as a teacher! Best of luck with the new position!

Really happy to see this piece of work out. With @amandaz83411502 we structurally and functionally characterised 24 nanobodies against the 1918 influenza virus polymerase. @fodorlab @jonathan_grimes @OxfordStrubi @Dunn_School rdcu.be/cELs3

Very sad to be leaving the Graham Lab, was an awesome year and I learned so much! Excited for the next chapter though, and am looking forward to starting at the Dunn School!
Congratulations to @RepAlison on passing her MPhil today! 🎈🎉🎊 Many thanks to the examiners @StantonRich and @mairikilkenny for assessing her work. We're very sad that Alison is leaving us for @Dunn_School to do a PhD, but excited to see what she does next!

Welcome to Zara, our #CamEPLS summer intern. With the fearsome mentorship team of @BenButt2, @HenryBarrow and @RepAlison (sadly out of frame) at her back I'm sure she'll do great! 🔬🧪🦠😎

Special shoutouts go to M2 who won their division 🏆, to W2 who qualified in the top division and to W3 who only started rowing in April and did incredibly well in a senior division! Finally, a massive thank you to @cucbc for organising the event 👏 #RowOnPCBC #yeahPem
