So pumped for this to be out in its final form!

After years of struggling with unstable and inactive membrane proteins, this story started from the quintessential pissed-off postdoc question: “Why the hell do I even bother purifying these damned proteins”?

🚨 My lab is hiring at all levels!

Interested in animal origins & evolutionary cell biology?

I'm recruiting a postdoc, PhD students & a research assistant to study the molecular evolution of cell adhesion using marine invertebrates + comparative genomics.

Excited to share our latest preprint!

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We developed a method to generate high-affinity binders against membrane proteins in their native-like environment!

🧪 #MembraneProteins #Nanobodies
Selection of nanobodies against liponanoparticle-embedded membrane proteins by yeast surface display
Single-domain antibodies, known as nanobodies (Nbs), are widely used in structural biology, therapeutics, and as molecular probes in biology and biotechnology. Nbs towards soluble proteins are routine...

Cinturato Ms looking sick on the gravel rig. The jump from 40 to 45mm makes a huge difference in ride quality!
