So excited that this work is out and I am so grateful to our team @hamid13r.bsky.social @attychang.bsky.social @baradlab.com @nanigrotjahn.bsky.social
Prohibitins aren’t hanging out just anywhere in the membrane — they prefer the 💁♀️💎✨VIP section💅🪩🥂
Lab all-star @mmedina300kv.bsky.social maps these microdomains using cryo-ET + surface morphometrics.

Thank you so much everyone who has supported me through this journey! I am so happy that I have an incredible lab!!! 🔬
It’s been a big week for the Grotjahn Lab—our very first graduate student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social, successfully defended her PhD thesis! 🎉 So proud of everything she’s accomplished and grateful for the light she’s brought to our lab from day one ☀️⚡

So excited for this work to be out!! Thanks to @attychang.bsky.social, @hamid13r.bsky.social, blue sky less Daniel Fuentes, @nanigrotjahn.bsky.social and @tomo.science!!!
🚨New preprint!🚨 #teamtomo
We expanded Surface Morphometrics to quantify membrane thickness from cryo-ET—revealing local variation across organelles.
Led by the lab’s first grad student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social (defending Monday! 🍾) w/ @attychang.bsky.social @hamid13r.bsky.social & @tomo.science

Feeling so honored and thrilled to see our work make it to the cover—what a milestone in my career! I can’t wait to receive the poster from JCB🤩
Our April issue is here! rupress.org/jcb/issue/22...
The cover shows a segmented model of cytoplasmic #ribosomes associated with mitochondrial membrane in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell. From Ya-Ting Chang, @nanigrotjahn.bsky.social and colleagues (doi.org/10.1083/jcb....)

Happy to share the first paper in my PhD is published in JCB!
It's my honor to work with amazing teammates! I really enjoy exploring mitochondrial protein import mechanism through cryo-ET!

Cytoplasmic #ribosomes on #mitochondria alter the local membrane environment for protein import, say Ya-Ting Chang, Danielle Grotjahn (@nanigrotjahn.bsky.social) @scripps.edu and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
