To read - a fascinating piece!

We've received a new GAČR Weave project in collaboration with German and Austrian groups, where we will focus on how lipid asymmetry affects protein function! Thereby, we also have an open Ph.D. position! CEITEC vacha.ceitec.cz/jobs-openings/

Eugene Myers, Director Emeritus at the MPI-CBG Dresden, received the Saxon Order of Merit today. Minister President Michael Kretschmer presented Eugene Myers with the award today MPI-CBG Dresden. Eugene Myers Eugene W Myers Jr is one of the pioneers in the field of bioinformatics. Congratulations! 🎊

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

Our next Webinar will be on November 12, featuring presentations by André Nadler (André Nadler) and Christoph Arenz. Come along and learn about pioneering research in lipid imaging and assay development. Register at sphingolipidbiology.com/registrations

And it is out! Check out the new story of the lab that shows how nuclear deformabiliy influences their movements…and when… cell.com/current-biolog…

👀New on bioRxiv: Our high-throughput #SingleCellProteomics pipeline analyzing 1,536 single cells/experiment, identifying 3,000+ proteins/cell. Applied to tumor macrophages in a lung metastasis model, we found ~500 differentially expressed proteins. 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally managed to read this - what a fantastic piece of work. And what a tour de force... I have quite a few ideas where this methodology will be rather useful... Congrats everybody!

Postdoc opportunity to work with Weizmann and Max Plank, superb funding. Enjoy the best of both worlds. weizmann.ac.il/sites/mpg-wis/

Just out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Shivali Dongre used quantitative imaging to study how gene-specific TFs cluster in the nucleus. In line with existing models, she found that both the DNA-binding domain and an intrinsically disordered region are required for clusters to form.

Published as early view in #ChemMedChem: our new (and maybe slightly controversial?) Perspective on the presentation of quantitative data in Medicinal Chemistry publications. Why we should try to do better and be rigorous with the way we report numbers from biological assays.

I'll talk about the mechanisms of selective lipid transport. There will also be two unpublished goodies: Lipid superresolution imaging (collaboration with Alf Honigmann) and Lipid CLEM (collaboration with Ori Avinoam). Looking forward to seeing you all!

🥳A tuneable minimal cell membrane reveals that two lipid species suffice for life: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We chemically minimized the membrane of the Minimal Cell...they survived, but with some interesting shapes, like this 'Death Star' phenotype Isaac J. Craig Venter Institute

We have an open research assistant position in host-pathogen interactions. Are you interested in synthetic biology, membranes and microorganisms, please apply! ki.varbi.com/what:job/jobID…

And it is finally there! The heroic effort by @Lucrezia_CF paid off. It was not always easy but resilience and stamina got us there. Thanks also to our collaborators Carl D Modes and Robert Haase for support! Check it out and let us know what you think! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting news! As of today, our group is part of SISSA in Trieste. Big THANK YOU to all current and past group members, collaborators and mentors and to MPI-CBG Dresden for hosting us for 8 amazing years! If you are interested in joining us in Trieste, please get in touch! SISSA

hey science friends, in case you didnt already know, everyone is over at the blue place. come on over, its hoppin'!

Our PICNIC tool predicts condensate-proteins regardless of their structural disorder across organisms Nature Communications.
