Our paper on "Structure of the ceramide-bound SPOTS complex" is now out in Nature Communications - Fantastic teamwork with co-first Carolin Körner from @FlorianFrhlich3 nature.com/articles/s4146… Arne Moeller #CryoEM #UOS 🔬❄️

Join us NEXT WEEK for the GSEC GradSchool 101 Workshop: Choosing a Lab! It will be held virtually next Monday, Nov 13, 3-4pm ET / 12-1pm PT. Please register at this link: forms.gle/XH8XCDS5aK12f7…

We are pleased to bring you the Cell paper of #FacesofCell Dr. Rocio Servin Vences, “PIEZO2 in somatosensory neurons controls gastrointestinal transit” cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The California State University (SCU) system is crucial for the education of many California residents. The UCs greatly benefit from this at the graduate level. The CSU faculty deserves better.

Blown away to have received the Mentor of the Year award Scripps Research . So grateful for the incredible support from everyone involved. Your dedication to science is my greatest reward. Thank you for making every day so inspiring 🙏

I'm happy to share the publication of my postdoctoral work at the Lander Lab. We solved previously-unobserved conformations of human TTR, an 55kDa amyloid-forming protein, to great resolution. #CryoEM biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Meet Alexandra Salazar, a PhD Candidate at #ScrippsResearch. 👋 She works in the Lander Lab, where researchers use data collection and image processing strategies to understand what goes wrong with the molecular machinery in cells during various disease states.

Alex is one of the superstar grad students in our group! So happy to see her featured in this short video - go Alexandra Salazar!

I am proud of you Alexandra Salazar, and look forward to seeing you keep growing as a scientist!

I had mixed research experiences as an undergraduate and was unsure about research. I decided to give it a shot as a postbac, & it was transformative. I used those experiences to inform the postbac program in the laboratory, now soliciting applications.

Congratulations Chris Zerio 🥳🍾 Chris is the kind of scientist that makes everyone around him feel inspired 🤩✨so lucky to be your office mate and to learn from you!!! 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽🙌🏽

So proud of my awesome UCSD undergrad intern Mason for representing #TeamMitoLysate at his very first poster presentation today! 🤩

Jie has an amazing knack of identifying incredibly cool biological systems that give rise to unexpected, impactful findings! Anyone lucky enough to join his group at UVA will receive outstanding mentorship while pursuing inspiring, top-tier research! Please Retweet

Congratulations to my brilliant lab mate Jie Yang!!! 🥳 Jie is a fantastic mentor & incredible scientist. When I first joined the Lander Lab, he went out of his way to mentor me, teach me biochemistry skills, & help me think critically about my science. UVA is very lucky!!

Exciting News! 🌟 Dr. Rose Hill, a brilliant postdoc from our team, is spreading her wings to establish her own lab at OHSU News! 🧬🔬 I know incredible science will be done in the Hill Lab at the Chemical Physiology and Biochemistry Department. 🙌

We always thought nucleotide state strictly defined AAA+ conformation, but Jeff Mindrebo's work on mito LONP1 suggests more is at play - substrate interactions also drive protein translocation! Revisiting & rethinking the hand-over-hand mechanism: tinyurl.com/49y7a6h6

Folks who have completed or are currently doing their PhD: If you were to have received a small welcome packet at your desk on Day 1 of your PhD, what would you want it to include? Some ideas: Post-its, a fun pen, highlighters, stapler, candy. What else?

Proof our lab skills are cutting-edge—both at the microscope and the (pumpkin carving) bench! 🎃🔬 #CryoEM #PumpkinScience Scripps Research

Grateful for the friendship we've developed with our favorite scientist Alexandra Salazar, who spent 90 minutes (!) today in a wide-ranging conversation with students in my afterschool group, most of whom first talked to her 2yrs ago while in 3rd grade (now in 5th). Schulze Elementary
