Yay!!!! Congratulations to our wonderful PI Danielle Grotjahn 💯 mitos for the win!!!




Congrats my incredible friend Hailee Perrett on her recent bioRxiv!!!

Danielle Grotjahn uses cutting-edge techniques to study the process of mitochondrial fragmentation inside cancer cells. She aims to identify new targets to block mitochondrial fragmentation as a strategy to prevent cancerous cell proliferation and tumor growth.


Truly grateful to be welcomed into a group of inspiring scholar and for the generous support of ARCS Foundation – San Diego. I’m excited to continue my work using cryo-ET to understand how mitochondrial ultrastructure remodels during stress! Scripps Research Graduate Program

A Valentine’s Day paper! We are so happy that this work is out. I would like to thank my co-authors Ben Barad Danielle Grotjahn Daniel Fuentes @LabWiseman


My grad school bestie Hailee Perrett now has three important letters after her name!! Congratulations Hailee R Perrett PhD. You’re such an incredible scientist and one of the hardest working people I know. Well deserved!! 💛


Exciting to see the lab’s first collaboration and Michaela Medina’s rotation project finally out! 🥳 Btw Laura E Newman just started her lab at UVA 👩🏻🔬🔬🧫 she was a thoughtful collaborator and will be a kind and supportive mentor. check out her lab for postdoc/PhD!



Excited to share our cryo-ET dataset: 1800+ tomos from 300+lamellae. Huge team work from team Ben Engel, team Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) & my team Microscopy & Spectroscopy + team EMDB - EMPIAR @EBI. We hope resources like this will be useful & push the frontier in cellular structure biology🚀#CryoET


So excited to see this work out from Atty Ya Ting Chang!!! She’s a rockstar!!!
