Excited to unveil our productive collaboration Buzz Baum's Lab Roux Lab, featuring 3 co-first authors Diorge Souza, Javier Espadas, and Sami Chaaban! Special thanks to @ERR_Moody, Tomo Hatano, and MohanBalasubramanian Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social) for their invaluable contributions!

Thrilled to share our latest work Roux Lab Buzz Baum's Lab with Diorge Souza and Sami Chaaban ! Phylogeny, structure, and function of ESCRT-III proteins in Asgard archaea, the closest relatives to eukaryotes. Big thanks to @ERR_Moody, Tomo Hating, MohanBalasubramanian Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social) !!

The greatest (and funniest) experiment of all time! 😂

🧵 Excited to share our latest preprint on bioRxiv: "Actin Dynamics Sustain Spatial Gradients of Membrane Tension in Adherent Cells"! 🚀🧬 In this thread, we dive into the fascinating world of membranes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #CellBiology #Biophysics 1/12

Very cool work on Vipp1, ESCRT-III bacterial homologues, forming spirals, polygons, rings... Congrats to all authors involved!

Very cool! ESCRT-III is the PDB "molecule of the month"! pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/296

Wonderful work by Michael Hohl and Emma Banks probing how the bacterial Tad pilus system motor powers both pilus assembly and retraction. Thank you to the Tung Le lab for the fantastic collaboration.. 👏 nature.com/articles/s4146…

This story started 5y ago with my lab. Spearheaded by fearless 1st authors theopi and Olivia Leland. Theopi is now a PhD student at Brown University. Olivia is a physics PhD student at Brandeis University, a self-taught biologist, and made us love soft matter. A (very long) thread (1/24)

🎉 Finally out! 🎉 Thrilled to share our work on the evolution, structure and membrane remodeling of Asgard ESCRT-III proteins! Congrats to all of our wonderful authors and collaborators 😍

My lab WUSM Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics is hiring! We’re looking for a talented Postdoc and Research Tech to join us in studying the structure and function of molecular machines and massive membrane protein assemblies. Apply here: Postdoc: bit.ly/4hG0Ai3 Research Tech: bit.ly/4aVEWni

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵
