BPS was my first in person conference since Covid. I was able to talk to so many scientist and share my work. It’s really revitalized me and made me excited to get back in lab and push forward. Felt that this photo really strangely captured my happiness during the week!

Confession Time: I’m very good at estimating distance in nm or um but if you ask me how how big a room is or how far away something is — I have no concept of scale!

The Park lab is looking to hire a technician or a postdoc to study the pathogenesis of clinically important bacteria using advanced cryo-ET techniques. Interested applicants should send a CV to dopark at scripps.edu. Please RT! Thank you! #Teamtomo

Never have I been humbled so quickly when explaining what a PhD program is like than when I told someone “… and at the end of it all you write your thesis.” They turned to me and said “ yeah like a school report” …. I mean she wasn’t wrong 🤣

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

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

Check out our recent preprint in collaboration with @LabWiseman showing that💡activation of ISR kinases (independent of ⚡️stress!) can 🛑prevent the harmful mitochondrial fragmentation✂️observed in diseases associated with mito dysfunction
