Woo! Very excited to share our collaborative work on the centriole's Luminal Distal Ring ⭕. This project started 13 years ago with @hugovdhoek.bsky.social & @stearnslab.bsky.social, and then beautifully came together with @computingcaitie.bsky.social & @centriolelab.bsky.social.
#TeamTomo #UExM 🧪🧶🧬🔬
🚨 New preprint!
Using U-ExM + in situ cryo-ET, we show how C2CD3 builds an in-to-out radial architecture connecting the distal centriole lumen to its appendages. Great collab with @cellarchlab.com @chgenoud.bsky.social @stearnslab.bsky.social 🙌. #TeamTomo #UExM

Sigh. A big warm hug to y'all. Undoing a #dictatorship will not be easy.

#Science, #Census, #USAID and many more #institutions have already fallen. Their datasets etc has been erased. No access. It's going so fast.

I wish you all the strength in the world and more💕 I'm afraid you're gonna need it

Hey #TeamTomo❄️🔬 computer wizards!👩‍💻🧙‍♂️ This is an amazing opportunity for a permanent position working alongside the fantastic Alicia Michael and Florian Schur, pushing #CryoET image analysis of chromatin and actin networks inside native cells!🧬🧶🧪 Vienna's not a bad place to be either.🍻😁
Interested in computation, cryoEM/ET, image analysis? How about working in a TT position at a cutting-edge institution just outside one of the most livable cities? Come join us at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria!

As a structural biologist there's a stage in discovery where you and your colleagues have seen an amazing structure but there's still work to do before it's ready for dissemination. You walk around knowing that every person, every living animal, carries that fascinating structure in their body.

Meet the PyShell!🥧🐚

Diatom pyrenoids fix up to 20% of the Earth's #CO2🌏. We discovered that their Rubisco is encased in a tight protein lattice that is essential for efficient carbon fixation and cell growth🌱

Super excited to share our new preprint📜: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
