Dynein-2 is fundamental to human development and its dysfunction is associated with short-rib thoracic dysplasias
Read MoreDr Giulia Zanetti's research group has been awarded two new grants. A European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant was awarded for a project which shows how coat assembly can deliver the flexibility necessary to accommodate a wide variety of cargo proteins, and how the process can be regulated. Her focus is on COPII coat, which mediates

On June 18th the ISMB held its inaugural Future Perspectives Day for PhD students and PDRAs. The opening session (chaired by Snezana Djordjevic) addressed the important issue of Open Access and the changing landscape of research publications, and featured three speakers with different perspectives on the subject: Nonia Pariente, Chief Editor of Nature Microbiology; Catherine Sharp, Head of Open Access Services,
Read MoreOn a sunny day in June, just before the summer solstice, staff from the ISMB at UCL and Birkbeck had their (now) annual retreat this year at the London Zoo. In our busy lives as academics, these away-days provide us with the rare opportunity to catch up with our colleagues from across Torrington Place in
