Abi Moye Maureen Barr Mu He Feel like you missed out on all the #cilia and #centriole fun? Don't worry, we are back AUGUST 20th 2024, sign up here to join the #ukcilia2024 fun: eventbrite.co.uk/e/bscb-gensoc-… Free and open to all BSCB The Genetics Society UK Cilia Network

We kick off our 47th BSCB The Genetics Society UK Cilia Network e-symposium with #DynamicDuo Paul Choi & Hailey Park Mu He with a kickass talk on #kinesin Kif27, unexpected roles in maintaining structure of #motilecilia axonemes. Waiting for pre-print to drop... #UKCilia2024

I am very happy to announce that my essay (about mushrooms and antidotes, of all things) won this year's edition of Science Writing Prize organised by BSCB! Beyond excited and humbled. Give it a read if you'd like to know more about deadly fungi. tinyurl.com/BSCB2024

Thank you BSCB! As an actin afficionado it's very humbling to receive it from Laura Machesky herself after such a kind introduction!
So many inspirational talks in a brilliantly organised meeting!

Had an amazing time at the 90th Harden conference #cellmigration in Birmingham! Made friends, bursting with new experimental ideas! Travelling w/ Leonardo Almeida-Souza 💎 Funded by FCI Finnish Cancer Institute Thank you BSCB ! #ECF2024

Thanks for having me! BSCB Biochemical Society #biochemevent

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here, thank you BSCB for inviting me! I’ve learned a lot about migrating cells and why they migrate the way they did! Looking forward to the next massive joint Spring meeting in Liverpool! The Company of Biologists

The final talk of the conference is our second keynote speaker, Michael Sixt, who is presenting his lab’s work on single cell behaviour

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

Wrapping up the final session of the conference is Pablo Sáez (Pablo J. Sáez) talking about decision making during cell migration

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

Next up is Elena Rainero (Elena Rainero) talking about the internalisation of integrin-bound extracellular matrix modulating invasive carcinoma cell migration

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

It's been great attending the BSCB Biochemical Society meeting in Birmingham this week. Feel like I've fallen in love with the actin cytoskeleton all over again! I haven't been tweeting the meeting but will RT some highlights

Kicking off the second half of Session 5 is Yi Feng (Yi Feng) with a talk entitled ‘does the differential migration behaviour of neutrophils attracted to preneoplastic cells predict their function?’

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

It's been an incredible week at the 90th Harden Conference in collaboration with BSCB and European Cytoskeletal Forum! Thank you to all those who attended for making our first event of the year a success! #BiochemEvent

Nice to see the BSCB president setting a good example by massively grooving.

The first half of Session 5 is closed by Kate McDole who is giving the talk ‘Illuminating mechanisms of early mouse development through adaptive live imaging’

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

Next up is Victoria Higgs with a talk on regulation of microtubule and neurofilament remodelling by Gai2 during vertebrate neuronal differentiation

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

Now we have a talk on hypertensive pressure triggering mechano-metabolic switching and transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells to foam cells from Tom Iskratsch (Thomas Iskratsch)

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

The next talk is ‘Finding fertile ground: mimicking embryonic microenvironments to understand the mechanism and control of mammalian primordial germ cell migration’ from William Foster

Biochemical Society #biochemevent

It’s the final day of the conference and Session 5: Cell Migration in Disease and Development is underway! Danijela Matic Vignjevic (Danijela Matic Vignjevic) kicks off with a talk on directional cues for epithelial cell migration in gut homeostasis
