Big congratulations to Parijat Sil and Rubén Tesoro Moreno for winning Best Talk Awards at the GRS on Cell Polarity! Developmental Dynamics made this possible! DevelopmentalDynamic Paul Trainor

Are you excited by advanced imaging technologies and biological applications? Do terms like ‘wavefront shaping’ or ‘photoacoustics’ mean something to you? Then come join our interdisciplinary research team EMBL for a 3 year postdoc, funded by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative: embl.org/jobs/position/…

🔬The Fritz-Laylin lab is hoping to hire a microscope specialist in the fall of 2024. We are seeking someone with experience in light microscopy and quantitative image analysis. EM experience would be a plus! If you are interested, please send me your CV and a cover letter.

You are into membranes & MD simulations? Two postdoc positions: highly collaborative setting @ beautiful Heidelberg - apply now! We are also seeking a PhD candidate within the #SFB1638 - just contact me directly if interested. More details to follow

EMBL Heidelberg researchers found how chromosomes switch from repelling each other to becoming sticky during cell division. They saw that protein Ki-67 turn chromosomes’ surface into a liquid-like glue that helps in the formation of daughter nuclei. 🔛 embl.org/news/science-t…

Needless to say this cell is not doing so well 🫢

After an EMBL scientist’s death, family & friends raised funds for a Kinderhaus playground, providing a joyous memorial. Read about that unique token of remembrance for scientist, mother, & more, Suzanne Eaton, in our 8th Moment of Philanthropy. #EMBL50 embl.org/news/connectio…

We are hiring! The data is ready, the servers are waiting, come join us!

HaaseLab is looking for a new recruit. Apply now!

The BINDER Innovation Prize 2024 goes to Alba Diz-Muñoz, Diz-Muñoz Lab, EMBL. Join us online for the 2024 DGZ, @DGZ.bsky.social award ceremony on October 7th at 12:30!

First manuscript of the PhD in bioRxiv ! Congrats to all co-authors and specially Srishti,Ivan Palaia ,Diz-Muñoz Lab ! I think we bring forward some cool concepts and questions to the field! (Slightly biased statement😜) Check it out and stay tuned for more things to come! 🤗

Microscopy Nodes 2.0 is out! This includes a new channel interface and OME-Zarr support! 🔬🎉 youtube.com/watch?v=ybQcKE…

Collagen-IV networks rule the #mechanics of our epithelia, but we know little about how they reshape. Our new preprint (with the 1st coarse-grained MD models of #collagen-IV!) shows how consuming energy during remodelling might make the difference: 📑tiny.cc/s6fqzz 🧵

Excited to announce our latest publication: “Keeping it in the family: Using protein family templates to rescue low confidence AlphaFold2 models” where we explore plDDT variability in #AF2 models of The Pfam database domains. doi.org/10.1093/bioadv… 1/7
