What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am a PhD student at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (Portugal) exploring de novo centriole biogenesis in land plants. Centrioles are eukaryotic organelles mostly known for their roles in the centrosome (the main microtubule organizing center in animal cells). However, centrioles also dock to the…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am Senior Scientific Researcher at Genentech Inc, working in the early discovery biochemistry department where I use robots and DNA-encoded technologies to identify peptide therapeutics. What are you excited about in science communication? I am keenly interested in experiments that disrupt the…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research Currently, I am a group leader at IRIBHM, ULB in Brussels, Belgium. I lead a group of three amazing PhD students and one irreplaceable technician. Our group works uses zebrafish as a model system and works on understanding how cells within a tissue…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research/your work I am a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Prof. Jack Szostak at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I am broadly interested in the molecular mechanisms of RNA in a prebiotic environment. In my research, I use computational simulations to understand the…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am a research scientist at Columbia University Medical Center. I use a combination of biochemical and cell-based approaches to investigate how cells respond to agents that damage the chromosomes and how malfunction of these repair mechanisms contribute to cancer of neurodegenerative diseases.…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am an early career researcher and inventor interested in how external inputs shape the behaviour of epithelial cells and how this knowledge can be used to improve human health. My PhD research in Cardiff University (the UK) gravitated around the enhancement of…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your work I am currently a Research and Instruction Librarian at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. What are you excited about in science communication? Science communication is expanding exponentially. There are so many ways to find new data and research. It is important to help researchers figure out…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I just started as a postdoctoral research associate at the CDFD, India. We are broadly interested in understanding how chromatin (histone post-translational modifications and transcription) works through the mammalian cell cycle; which often goes haywire in pathological conditions like in cancer cells. Earlier,…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am currently working as a postdoctoral research and development scientist for Solvotrin Therapeutics based in Trinity College Dublin. My job is concentrated on small molecule drug design and development for T-cell lymphomas but involves a broad spectrum of disciplines including medicinal chemistry,…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am a PhD student studying the sequence of events leading to the establishment of transcription in the nuclear space of the developing embryo. What are you excited about in science communication? Making science and the ‘scientific method’ accessible and understandable to lots…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pretoria. I specialize in tree health and protection. The focus of my current research is identifying the potential contamination sources of root rot pathogens (e.g. Phytophthora spp.) in citrus nurseries in South Africa. What are…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research In my main occupation, I am currently a senior academic staff at the Molecular Genetics Informatics (MGI), Department of Anatomy, Bauchi State University, Nigeria. My work primarily involves deciphering the regulatory pathways that drive tumour recurrence and progression as well as dissecting the…
What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your work I study medicine at the University of Khartoum and conduct research on general surgery and anesthesiology in Sudan. I also conduct research in the area of scholarly communications in east Africa. I am currently on the board of directors of FORCE11 and on…
