@fraaamazzz.bsky.social attended the #CCP4 Northern Meeting presenting our work @mpip-mainz.mpg.de on Single Particle #CryoEM of synthetic NMs, exploring the LEGO-like interactions that drive their self-assembly.
Great discussions&new ideas on how structural biology can be adapted to NMs!

Second day of #ccp4north and something a bit different from
@fraaamazzz.bsky.social with #cryoEM amyloid fibrils structures. Very cool! #cryo4NM

It has been a long journey but I’m so proud of this achievement 🎉
Congratulations to @fraaamazzz.bsky.social for obtaining her PhD with the highest distinction.
"Soft matter characterization beyond resolution limit" shows interdisciplinary work at the interface between nanomaterials & structural biology. Looking forwards to a successful PostDoc at our Institute!

Excited to be sharing my first post to announce my first first author paper!
So happy with all these firsts!
In the paper we explore functional groups from total, to visible and finally accessible groups that can actually be utilised for surface functionalization.
