Thu 12 Nov 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: CMCB Seminar - Prof Rebecca Page (UConn Health) Centre for Molecular Cell Biology Title: SLiMs and SHelMs: Decoding how short linear and helical motifs direct PPP specificity. Abstract: The large majority of ser/thr dephosphorylation is performed by the PPP family, comprised of just seven families: PP1, PP2A, PP2B/PP3/calcineurin (CN), PP4, PP5, PP6 and PP7. While it has been known for more than two decades that PP1 and CN engage their regulators using short linear motifs (SLiMs), the emerging view is that regulator and substrate engagement via SLiMs is likely conserved...

Fri 5 Feb 2027   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: The Drummond Lecture 2027 Centre for Molecular Cell Biology Jordan Raff - How do cells build organelles? Abstract: A key feature of all living things is their ability to assemble complicated structures from dilute building blocks. How cells achieve this remarkable feat of bioengineering is largely unknown. Centrosomes are an excellent model for studying organelle biogenesis as they comprise 10s-100s of copies of several hundred different types of protein yet, like the DNA, they assemble a precise copy of themselves once per cell cycle. We have...

Mon 19  - Thu 22 Apr 2027	Conference: British Society for Cell Biology & The Genetics Society 2027 Conference Centre for Molecular Cell Biology We are pleased to announce this interdisciplinary meeting jointly organised by the British Society for Cell Biology (BSCB) and the Genetics Society (GenSoc). It brings together researchers to explore how dynamic cellular and subcellular processes are shaped by genetic, epigenetic, and molecular mechanisms across diverse model systems. The meeting highlights the interplay between cell dynamics and genome function, from subcellular organisation to systems-level behaviour. The BSCB–GenSoc 2027...
