Absolutely over the moon to have passed my PhD viva last week! Thank you to my examiners for a great discussion @RyanLab_MBU and Jim Stewart and my fab supervisors @sarahjpickett, Ollie and Matt for their support over the last 4 years. Excited to see what the next chapter brings!

bit.ly/3We9B9n The mitochondrial protein COA5 was previously reported as a complex IV assembly factor. Studying a further case of COA5-related mitochondrial disease, the authors @UniofNewcastle @taylorlabncl @yasmintangjx delineate an essential role for this protein in the early stage of complex IV assembly

Excited to share our @Nature paper introducing constraint metrics for #mtDNA! Constraint models are powerful tools that were missing for mtDNA—until now. By applying our model to #gnomAD, we reveal which sites in mtDNA are most crucial for health & disease nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
