The CrickConnect team are delighted to be able to invite community members to join us for the institute's regular Crick Lecture.

Crick Lectures provide a broad insight into biomedical research from leading scientists. Not to be missed, the one-hour lectures are the event of the week for the Crick community to come together. 

This installment will be delivered by Crick Group Leader Jeremy Carlton.

Crick Lectures take place weekly (usually on Thursday at 16:00). They are given by leading scientists and aim to be accessible to scientists across different disciplines, while also offering something for the specialist.

Due to the pioneering and sensitive nature of some of the research discussed in these lectures, only Crick Lectures from selected speakers will be shared, and we ask all attendees to respect the private nature of these talks by refraining from making any type of recording, sharing access details or in any other way compromising the research that is discussed.

THIS SESSION WILL NOT BE RECORDED

Speaker Profile

Jeremy recieved a B.A. in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University and then a Ph.D from the University of Bristol, under the direction of Prof Pete Cullen. During this time, he examined membrane trafficking pathways regulated by the phosphoinositide-binding family of Sorting Nexins. After his Ph.D, he moved to the laboratory of Prof Juan Martin-Serrano in the Infectious Diseases department of King's College London to examine how the ESCRT-machinery is hijacked by HIV-1 to allow its release from infected cells. Here, as a Beit Memorial Research Fellow, he described a novel and unexpected role for the ESCRT-machinery in cytokinesis and characterised the involvement of ESCRT-III proteins in an Aurora-B regulated abscission checkpoint.

After his postdoc, he moved to the Division of Cancer Studies at King's College London as a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellow. In his new lab, he continues his focus on membrane trafficking machineries and have described a novel role for the ESCRT-machinery in rebuilding the nuclear envelope during cell division.

In 2017, Jeremy was awarded a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship and moved to the Francis Crick institute to continue his studies on membrane and organelle remodelling during cell division.
