Many congratulations to Girish R Mali (@dyneinassembly.bsky.social) and team, awarded the 2025 Ian & Barbara Gibbons Award for their work on the regulation of axonemal dynein motors that power ciliary beating!
The award recognises groundbreaking advances in the Dynein field every four years.
Very happy to say that our work on how axonemes are generated is now available on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... - if you’ve ever wondered how the incredibly beautiful, complex structures within motile #cilia are constructed then this is for you!
Symposium on Structural Proteomics 2025
I am delighted to be among this years winners awards from the Biochemical Society! The Early Career Award recognises the work I did during my PhD and postdoc, and hopefully signals a bright start for my new lab within the @astbury-bsl.bsky.social at the University of Leeds đź’«
By imaging the tips of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii motile cilia by #cryo-ET, we captured the intermediate steps in axoneme assembly and uncovered a host of unexpected structures along the way.
Overall, the multi-step assembly process ensures coordinated emergence of structural integrity and motility. Functional modularity appears to be in-built, meaning assembly can easily be modulated to generate the diverse cilia-based structures we see across life.
