🚨New paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! #ExpansionMicroscopy is democratizing access to #superresolution imaging, but it works best on proteins & nucleic acids. What about lipids? Some great tools have emerged, but Brittany White sought ones optimized for lipids: 1/5 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…



The first paper from my postdoc is officially out in Science, Space & Robots today! We solved the first structure of the "spike" protein for the #hepatitisC virus 🦠 (HCV) and pave the way for future HCV #vaccines 💉. Read the full story here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🥰🥰




In collaboration with JEOL (Dr. Fukumura), we tested MicroED with Direct Electron Apollo on CRYO ARM 300. We got a wonderful 0.5 Å map of sodium glutamate monohydrate (limited by the detector distance) from 14 crystals.


We’re excited to extend noninvasive optogenetics beyond the brain to address a nearly 150-year-old question in a new study out today nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Work led by Brian Hsueh, myself, and Karl Deisseroth, with an amazing team in the D-lab and many others!

More fluorescence #ONE images of single otoferlin* molecules (together with AuditoryNeuroscience@Goettingen Prof. Moser lab). With the new version of ONE we can hopefully fill the gap between #fluorescence microscopy and #CryoEM / Lippincott-Schwartz Lab Radu Aricescu Stefan W. Hell biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


#Democracy_in_microscopy We thank our brilliant colleagues at nature Ewen Callaway Richard Van Noorden for introducing our #ONE technology to the #public!! nature.com/articles/d4158…



🥁Out on Science Magazine 👉GluD1 binds GABA and controls inhibitory plasticity 🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 👏Congratulations to Laura Piot and Paoletti Lab, and @MonyLaetitia Radu Aricescu and all authors at #IBENS and @MRC_LMB for this achievement!


The Miller lab is super proud to have published its work on GABA-A receptor α5 selective modulators, in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology! nature.com/articles/s4159…. NatureStructMolBiol Vikram Kasaragod Tomas Malinauskas Radu Aricescu Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge BiocEM Cambridge


Happy to share our paper in NatureStructMolBiol, led by Uriel López and Lachlan Munro. We are studying how the antidepressant vortioxetine acts on serotonin 5-HT3 receptors in rodents and humans. rdcu.be/dGv49
