This research was carried out by Tom Calcraft from the Structural Biology of Cells and Viruses Lab, led by Peter Rosenthal, and Miguel Hernandez Gonzales from the Cellular Signalling and Cytoskeletal Function Lab, led by @drmichaelway.bsky.social.

Scientists at the Crick have identified three crucial proteins that make up the ‘portal complex’ in the vaccinia poxvirus. The finding could lead to new ways of treating other poxviruses like mpox which have similar portal complexes. https://bit.ly/45vMhbi

Our clinical director Charlie Swanton spoke to James Gallagher on Inside Health this morning about his team's work investigating the biological processes that link inflammation and lung cancer. Catch up on BBC Sounds from 5:35 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002zggr

Following his death from lymphoma, Edward Speed left his body to PEACE, a study revealing the hidden impacts of cancer treatment, including how DNA in healthy tissue might change. Read more about Edward’s story and the @cancerresearchuk.org-funded PEACE study: https://bit.ly/4x0KKpl

Last week we held our annual Bring Your Culture to Work Day. The Crick community came together to share and celebrate each others’ cultures through food, clothes, art, music and activities - from fan making to Salsa dancing.

Our new free exhibition, We Go Way Back, opens today. Stop by and learn how revolutionary ancient DNA research reveals the deep connections that link us all. We’re open Wednesday – Saturday with late opening on Wednesday evenings. https://bit.ly/4frAkZ4

Nearly 40 Crick scientists, staff, friends and family were part of the 35,000 people who marched in this year’s London Pride. Thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate everything that Pride represents, and to remind people of the day-to-day challenges that still exist in LGBTQIA+ communities.

Myricx Bio, a cancer therapy spinout based on research carried out at the Crick and @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, has reached an agreement to be acquired by @novartis.bsky.social. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-07...

The work was a collaboration between @zenahadjivasiliou.bsky.social's team at the Crick, with Harry Booth carrying out modelling work, and Aleksandar Vještica’s team at @unil.bsky.social, with Celso Martins driving the experiments.

Scientists have combined theory and experiments to show that genetic differences in seemingly identical yeast sex cells evolved due to competing demands during the asexual and sexual phases of their life cycle. https://bit.ly/3Tf7Uty

Group leader @pippa-matt.bsky.social and her team, the HBV Elimination Lab, are working with an international team of research groups to better understand the impact of scaling up hepatitis B treatment on African populations. https://bit.ly/4weLN4S

This research was led by @ssegurabayona.bsky.social with corresponding author Simon Boulton @boultonlab.bsky.social.

Often mutated in cancer, the ATRX gene helps cells copy their DNA without damage. Crick scientists have uncovered new functions for this gene that might leave ATRX-deficient cancer cells vulnerable to potential treatments. https://bit.ly/4v7HTcW

Congratulations to @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social on being elected as a member of @embo.org. Read more about Pontus and his lab’s work using ancient DNA to redefine how scientists understand human evolution, disease, and migration. https://bit.ly/3QNZrgg

Crick researchers have found specific immune responses in the lungs that could provide clues as to why some people develop active tuberculosis (TB), while others keep it in check. This research was led by Will Branchett with corresponding author Anne O’Garra. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-06...

Our ambition to combine artificial intelligence with fundamental biology and medicine continues to evolve as we welcome Mihaela van der Schaar as our Chief AI Scientist. Read more: www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-06...

Crick researchers are investigating how our immune system allows us to live alongside fungi through a delicate balance, with minimal adverse effects. Read about the new project, led by Veni Papayannopoulos and funded through an Advanced Grant from the @erc.europa.eu: www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-06...
