After two fantastic days, I am looking forward to one more day with more incredible science at #SISB2026. I am excited to present a poster on my @embo.org postdoctoral fellowship project in the lab of @mfwhite2.bsky.social . See you at Poster #C7

I am thrilled to share that I was selected for an @embo.org Postdoctoral Fellowship. Soon, I will join the lab of @mfwhite2.bsky.social to study prokaryotic immune mechanisms. Super exciting!

CARD domains mediate anti-phage defence in bacterial gasdermin systems - Nature
Caspase recruitment domains (CARDs) are present in defence systems that protect bacteria against phage, where the bacterial CARD domain is essential for protease-mediated activation of bacterial gasdermins that promote cell death.

*Fully funded PhD position available in the lab* We will use structural proteomics to map the mechanosensitive interactions of talin in dendritic spines and how they change during long term potentiation. Please share, and email for details :) www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Atomic structures of biological molecules have never been so available and ubiquitous, but this raises questions as to how they are made appropriately accessible for optimal use t.co/RTx2WLxR0W

#CASP16 results are in! Template-based VFold seems to be lead method for nucleic acid structure prediction! AlphaFold2 and 3 still seem to be best methods for protein monomer and complex prediction.

I’m very excitement to share a preprint of some very recent work from our lab on our continuing odyssey into the very interesting world of TAXI TRAP transporters. tinyurl.com/4a7fra4x 🧵 (1/9)

A new class of binding protein-dependent solute transporter exemplified by the TAXI-GltS system from Bordetella pertussis
Tripartite ATP-dependent periplasmic (TRAP) transporters are widespread in prokaryotes, but absent in eukaryotes, and facilitate the uptake of a wide variety of substrates. TRAP transporters are compo...
