Success in the @ukri.org BBSRC ALERT biosciences equipment funding call means our JEOL F2-Cryo will be getting an upgrade. After 12 years of service, it's time for a new camera to restore the microscope to best-in-class performance and giving our users the best possible data.

A great collaboration with Morgan Herod and colleagues in Leeds. Thermally stable murine norovirus shows a delayed uncoating phenotype, with cryoEM led by Lee Sherry and Charlotte Lewis at the @cvrinfo.bsky.social.

Fantastic to have this out! As ever, I'm immensely grateful to all co-authors for their support, advice, and resource provision. This was a real collaborative effort, and highlights the potential of VP2 as a viable target for calicivirus antivirals- exciting stuff!

On the train back from yet another excellent @ccpem.bsky.social Spring Symposium. It was excellent to catch up with many friends, collaborators and vendors and the talks have given us plenty of ideas for the facility that we can improve and implement for our users. Until next year!

Last week, we hosted 6 participants on the Cryo-EM in Structural Biology 2026 course, part of our Wellcome/MRC-funded training programme. The course was hybrid with online lectures together with the other hosts and onsite practicals. Find out more: www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/...

Thanks to the #MVLSPartnerships team for inviting us to their Life Science Partnerships Day yesterday. We had great time talking about cryo-EM to students, staff, funders and potential partners, as well as hearing previous partnership successes across the University

An excellent day at the @elrig.org Drug Discovery in Scotland meeting, hosted just up the road from us @cruk-si.bsky.social. It was really interesting to see the breadth of activity in Scotland and we hope to see some you utilising cryo-EM in the future!

What better way to join Bluesky than post our first professional team photo. We've been busy onboarding everyone over the last few months, so welcome to Giusy, Debakshi, Kako and Gonzalo who have joined James. We're looking forward to helping our users do great cryo-EM.
