Olga Polotska, Director of the NRFU, is delighted by the success of the joint call for proposals with the SNSF. The research projects are proof of “how diverse #research in #Ukraine continues to be, despite all the difficulties.” ➡️ sohub.io/zr51

The IBMM wishes to host an SNSF Starting Grantee! If you are into membrane biology, and would like to start your lab in our institute at Uni Bern, please check the details and apply: ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs…

The gamma-tubulin ring complex controls microtubule nucleation in cells. The Michal Wieczorek lab demonstrates that CDK5RAP2 regulates the structure of the gamma-tubulin ring complex to dramatically promote its microtubule-nucleating activity. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Our work on the regulation of the gamma-tubulin ring complex is now online Developmental Cell! Huge congratulations to all co-authors involved! Open access link to the paper: cell.com/developmental-…
