Thank you to Eduardo da Veiga Beltrame from MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence) who joined us yesterday and gave a fantastic seminar and workshop for Franklin staff on the new directions in single cell omics and artificial intelligence.

🦸 Hidden Superheroes in Our Cells!? New research led by the CVR and Rosalind Franklin Institute, has uncovered how a team of cellular “superheroes” — the U2 snRNPs — leap into action to stop viruses in their tracks. Normally busy making proteins, these molecular defenders switch gears during infection, transforming into roadblocks to prevent viruses from multiplying. Published in Molecular Cell (Cell Press), this discovery could inspire future antiviral therapies.

Congratulations to all of the 2025 SSI Fellows, including the Franklin's Laura Shemilt! Laura's project focuses on establishing a community around Cloud-Native technology and its uses. Laura shared what she hopes to achieve through the Fellowship Programme: "I want to bring together good practice from across the community to accelerate UK research with cloud native technology. I wanted to bring some of the exciting work we do at the Franklin to other people in the Research Software Engineering community that may be facing similar problems. "Being selected for this is a huge achievement. I am very thankful for the support of my colleagues, Alex Lubbock and Mark Basham for the help and support they have given me making the initial concept into a fully fledged idea. I would love to share with the community the opportunities we have for AI in the Franklin."
