@biochemoxford is very sad to learn of the death of David Ish-Horowicz - he was a visiting scientist at the Department for many years and will be greatly missed by many.

OUT NOW in Cell: Natural malaria infection elicits rare but potent neutralizing antibodies to the blood-stage antigen RH5 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The final version of our paper on PfRH5-targeting antibodies from people naturally infected with malaria is now out in Cell. Pioneered by @Lewreate7, @andrewcooperajr and Josh Tan, who identified these antibodies. It was a pleasure for Brendan Farrell and I to contribute.

Great to be able to award the Biochemical Society recognition award to Ismay Forsyth today as part of her graduation at Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University . An amazing student who did some really exciting science in their 4th year project which was based Diamond Light Source- well deserving of the award.

Huge congrats to Dr Aphroditi Zaki on her work appearing in PNAS ! - Plasticity of the selectivity filter is essential for permeation in lysosomal TPC2 channels - pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

In this work, MD reveals a new filter conformation not (yet) seen in cryo-EM of TPC2 channels that conducts sodium ions in good agreement with experiments done by Taufiq Rahman. Very nice collab also with Sandip Patel at UCL. Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University
