Hot off the biorxiv press! 🔥 Samuel Lara-Reyna finds GBP5 enhances macrophage glycolysis via glucose uptake, GTPase activity dependent and as being cis-Golgi localised. Bonus finding, GBP5 is important for full M1 macrophage functionality. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

If you’re less than 1 year post-PhD in Immunology/Cell Biology/Molecular Biology, contact me e.frickel@bham.ac.uk to discuss. (4/5)

Thanks to Dominique Soldati, the Department and the Wellcome Trust for enabling this move! (5/5)

The open projects will build on our findings to delineate novel pathways of host responses in infected cells and their utility in uninfected bystander cells. (2/5)

Embed your project in a dynamic, friendly, and international environment. Most importantly, be bold and curious! (3/5)

“It’s made us live more in the moment and that’s our mentality now: if we ever feel like doing something with the children, we do it. We just let them have the chocolate buttons.”

From the article: Losing Alexander and Isabelle has opened her eyes to what’s important in life. “You try to make the best of life after your child dies, but it’s never the same again,” she says.
