We are excited to share our preprint, a #teamtomo voyage into human brain with 'In situ cryoET of β-amyloid and tau in post-mortem Alzheimer's disease brain'. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our awesome technician Martin gets the honour of the 'final reveal' on our new Microscopy & Spectroscopy Talos TEM! Thanks to Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Alert21 funding for making this possible. The Astbury Centre AstburyBiostructure Faculty of Biological Sciences

Great to see Sir Steve here in Leeds for the inaugural Leeds Cancer Research Centre seminar!

Thanks to The Astbury Centre society for organising a fantastic sports day! It was a great day to get outside in the sun ☀️ and network with everyone across the Centre (with a little bit of friendly competition too)!

Fantastic to be hosting Prof Gabriele Kaminski Schierle Molecular Neuroscience Group in Leeds for the Astbury biennial lecture!

Proud to share our JACS Au paper on developing polyvalent nano-lectins for neutralising SARS-CoV-2. Displaying polyvalent glycan-binding domains flexibly is key to high potency! Well done Darshita & Jamie! 👍👍👍🍾🍾🍾pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Finally, we can share fantastic structures of 'utilisomes' - glycan processing machines from the OM of our gut microbiota. Out today in nature rdcu.be/dd0dy
