England haven’t been convincing so far, but without players born outside the UK or with at least 1 parent or grandparent born abroad, we wouldn’t still be here. And today, we’d be down to just 3 players. #ENGSWI #ThreeLions

Delighted to share our new pre-print on translational activity of 80S monosomes. @AlbertBlandy @EltonVasconcel8 @AmyTurn67763683 @LabFontana @MichaelaAgapiou Thanks to @BBSRC and @wellcometrust. Great for this work to benefit from @RiboCode team input

Summary Translational regulation at the stage of initiation can impact the number of ribosomes translating each mRNA molecule. However, the translational activity of single 80S ribosomes (monosomes)...

Super happy to have our #GenerationResearch summer student, Livvy Thompson, join @RNA_julie’s lab this week. Livvy will be with us for the next 9 weeks looking at the role of IFRD1 heterogeneous/specialised ribosomes in D. melanogaster spermatogenesis

Last few days to apply for a postdoc position to work on specialised ribosomes! The project is part of a @BBSRC sLoLa, and it involves cryo-EM in the @Astbury_BSL, structural MS with @anton_calabrese and ribosomal translation with @RNA_julie!
