Q1. Who inspired you to become a scientist? It was an organic growth, not something I was inspired by, but rather something facilitated by my mentors and supervisors during my MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral work. I studied biology because I wanted to be a teacher, then realised that I could teach students. But when I […]
Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Till et al. show that trigger factor promotes nascent-chain compaction and folding during translation. Troian et al. identify 96 previously unannotated ORFs, many encoding […]
Q1. Who inspired you to become a scientist? Natural curiosity instilled as a boy on walks with my Grandad and, probably Prof. Dave Rickwood who supervised my undergraduate project. Inexplicably, he let an inexperienced student, with a very poor record of lab practical attendance, use one of the first confocal microscopes in the UK. I […]
Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Rincon Diaz, D. et al. find that gcn2 Arabidopsis mutants maintain wild-type-like protein synthesis rates under methyl jasmonate exposure. Warren C.M et al. find […]
Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Douglas, T. et al. identify HOIL-1 as an important regulator of ribosome homeostasis during cellular stress. Elhamamsy, A. et al. uncover previously unrecognized role […]
