💥Postdoc and PhD positions open for highly motivated enthusiast of hematopoietic stem cells at Helsinki University Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki in the happiest country of the world: Finland 🇫🇮 Link here: lengefeldlab.com Please RT 🙏 We are excited for your application!😃

Interesting tool for inducible, specific internalization of α5β1 integrins. Rapid cellular changes in cell morphology, adhesion dynamics, ECM remodeling and cell-cell interactions. Hotwiring integrin endocytosis acutely modulates cell interactions biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Science is a career full of rejection & self doubt. Most scientists don't go around collecting awards & kudos but sit there wondering if anyone reads our papers. Telling a scientist whose work you like that you value & appreciate what they do is a small & very meaningful gesture.

How do you go leaflet by leaflet and visualise membrane order specifically in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane? Read along to find out!! We are very excited to present our lab’s latest preprint, going from the inner leaflet all the way to cell physiology! 🧫🧫🔬🔬

Interested how tissues cope with damage and fight against cancer? I'm looking for a Research Assistant to work in my team CRUK Scotland Inst based in the lab of Owen Sansom 🏳️‍🌈. Great environment to develop your skills and work among brilliant scientists. More details: tinyurl.com/2knupc2b

I strongly recommend to apply if you are looking for a TT position! HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki is a wonderful working place. Great colleagues, science, and opportunities for collaborations. Also Helsinki & Finland is a great place to live! Happy to answer questions, just DM.

#JobAlert #microscopy 🔬Are you passionate about optics? A whiz with advanced microscopy techniques? The Cellular Interfaces Group, NCBS Bangalore Life Science Cluster (BLiSC) is looking for a microscope whisperer to join as a research engineer for advancing optical microscopy techniques. (1/2)

Top 10 Manu Prakash teachings from his amazing episode of the Night Science Podcast. 1. Science is a sense of wonder; a personal sense of experience. 2. Science gives us increasing agency; you realize it’s like a car you drive with no roads. 🧵⬇️ Manu Prakash Martin Lercher

Excited to share my latest research in Nature Physics: nature.com/articles/s4156… 🎉🔬 Check out our open-source 3D traction force microscopy and how we detected forces in immune cells! Grateful to my amazing team and collaborators. #NaturePhysics #Science

Check out our new preprint where we show that cell shape noise facilitates shape transitions! It was a heroic project led by @WolframPonisch (theory) and Iskra Yanakieva (experiments) and a great collaboration with Guillaume Salbreux Summary in Wolfram’s thread biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in actin, intermediate filaments and microtubules? Then this FASEB conference is for you – the only one in North America focused on the cytoskeleton with fantastic speakers. July 13-17 2025 in Southbridge MA. #cytoskeleton #FASEB #CytoskeletalStructureDynamicsFunction

Our Scientific Ambassador, Magdalena Schindler, PhD student at EMBL, recently visited 7⃣ different facilities of Austrian BioImaging/CMI in Vienna.🇦🇹 Read her impressions of the cutting-edge imaging & dedicated staff supporting researchers at #EuroBioImaging's Austrian Node👨‍🔬🔬⤵️

I have PhD and postdoc positions available in our lab to explore mechanisms of ER protein biogenesis and homeostasis and small molecular modulation, please RT. Expertise in biochemistry, chemical biology and structural biology (especially cryo-EM and cryo-ET) beneficial!

Our work on a new technique we call 3D micropatterned traction force microscopy (3D-μTFM) is now out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Is it cheating to explore a dataset for things you didn't initially hypothesize? Absolutely not! It needs to be better acknowledged that science is all about finding new ideas in data and then testing them with a new dataset, which can then be mined for new ideas, and on it goes!
