Alison has joined our lab as a postdoc to continue our research on synthetic polarity, now in multicellular systems. Welcome to the lab, Alison!
Alison stands in our lab space wearing a white lab coat and white nitrile gloves. She is holding a pink eppindorf tube and a pipette above her incredibly tidy lab bench.

It was an absolute honour to win the #BSCB poster prize at #DynamicCellVI ! Its my first ever dynamic cell and I already can't wait for the next one! Make sure to come to our other talk today on using this tech to study endosomal dynamics?

🚨🚨🚨Check out this new preprint from the Löwe lab proposing that microtubule architecture and dynamics evolved in Asgard archaea prior to eukaryogenesis! Happy to have had a little contribution by showing that Asgard tubulin displays a key hallmark of eukaryotic tubulins: dynamic instability! 🚨🚨🚨

Steven has joined us as an RA to assist in the design, production and characterization of a panel of binders to be used as biosensors to image sorting of endogenous cargos in cells using multispectral microscopy, or as modulators of activities of sorting machineries! Welcome to the lab, Steven!
Steven stands on a link-corridor at the MRC LMB. In the background there are meeting rooms, social areas and windows into labs.

We present a simple method to easily increase the imageable depth of an expansion microscopy gel on a typical inverted microscope ten-fold, using some carefully placed FEP film and a water dipping objective lens:
A comparison of imaging an expansion microscopy hydrogel with a water dipping objective lens, using either eye gel as an immersion medium or a combination of Immersol W, water and a thin FEP film. In both cases, the sample is supported by a thin FEP film rather than a coverglass.

The final version of our multispectral microscopy manuscript is now online at Nature Photonics: www.nature.com/articles/s41... The main additions are some further comparisons to yet more unmixing algorithms, in which we find that our algorithm is still the most accurate.

Our automatic parameter-free deconvolution code is now 2–3× faster while still producing exactly the same results as before. If you want to try it out, we have a Google Notebook implementation available at beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/. Manuscript WIP.
