RNA biologist who enjoys travelling, art galleries, food, listening to Bruce Springsteen, hiking and spending time with family. My group at Leeds dissect mechanisms of translational regulation, ribosomes and novel sites of translation.
Another fabulous day of talks at @embo.org Ribosome Synthesis meeting. Very exciting to see technology developments impacting ribosome and translation fields. As well as lots of awesome talks on ribosome specialisation! @ribocode.bsky.social
Super interesting talk from @amunts.bsky.social on mito RPs. Lovely to see figures from our reviews in introduction 🤩

Delighted to be at @embo.org Ribosome Synthesis meeting at beautiful Churchill College, Cambridge. Delighted to see @royalsociety.org specialised ribosome special issue on registration desk and Bulat Fatkhullin’s fabulous cover image @ribocode.bsky.social
Wish i was there but looking forward to EMBO Ribosome synthesis meeting next week in Cambridge!
Translon: a single term for translated regions. #Translation @natmethods.nature.com
Just dont get too close! Surely we sure call it micro-giraffe!
Looking forward to learning lots this morning on what proteomics and immunopeptidomics can reveal about the dark proteome -day 4 of GRC ‘Decoding Microproteins Across Evolution and Disease’ meeting @johnprensner.bsky.social
Totally blown away by number and quality of questions and discussion in our microproteins
Day 3 of GRC ‘Decoding Microproteins Across Evolution and Disease’ @johnprensner.bsky.social Fabulous dive into big data approaches to detect and characterise translation of novel translons to generate microproteins #microproteins #translons
Excited for day 2 of GRC Decoding Microproteins Across Evolution and Disease @johnprensner.bsky.social
Another great day of translation science at @biochemsoc.bsky.social #TLUK2025 in Edinburgh. Fabulous talks and discussions-looking forward to poster session this afternoon
Massive congratulations!
Great to have you join the team Alex!
Delighted to share paper on translational activity of 80S monosomes across different tissues in 🪰 in @narjournal.bsky.social thanks to fabulous team Albert Blandy Tayah Hopes Elton Vasconcelos @amy-turner96.bsky.social Bulat Fatkhullin Michaela Agapiou Juan Fontana academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
Great day of fascinating science yesterday! Thanks for the invite
Great to be here at Hidden Cell Dark Genome meeting, here in Edinburgh. Wonderful talks!
Congrats! Beautiful

Congratulations @ribocode.bsky.social team on our review published today @royalsociety.org Awesome team work to write this as such a large group. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Excited to see issue on ribosome heterogeneity and specialisation out @royalsociety.org Philosophical Transactions B. Thanks to authors & co-editors @liamfaller.bsky.social @andershlund.bsky.social Maria Barna. Wonderful cover Bulat Fatkhullin! #ribosomes royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/202...
Our paper is part of a special issue from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B ⬇️
royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/202...
Read about different aspects of ribosome heterogeneity and specialisation across species & the latest advances and future direction of the field. (2/2)
❗NEW PAPER❗
Check out our review on #ribosome heterogeneity and specialisation published today!
We discuss the mechanisms of specialisation, review the latest research and explore how technological advancements will drive the next set of research questions.
