Who says scientists can’t be artists? 🎃✨
We held a #pumpkin carving competition here at MPI of Biophysics, and the results were as impressive as they were spooky!
Swipe through to see all the creations and find out who took home the 🏆!
Happy #Halloween from the team! 🧡

❓What if you could peek between your tilt series ❓ We are proud to introduce cryoTIGER -- deep-learning based tilt interpolation for enhanced reconstruction in cryo-ET. A great collaboration between Turoňová lab, @becklab.bsky.social, @hummerlab.bsky.social #teamtomo www.nature.com/articles/s42...
cryoTIGER: deep-learning based tilt interpolation generator for enhanced reconstruction in cryo electron tomography - Communications Biology
Deep learning-based interpolation using cryoTIGER enhances angular sampling in cryoET, improving 3D reconstructions, particle localization, and structural recovery without increasing electron dose.

IMPRS students laced up their running shoes for this year’s “Lauf für mehr Zeit” charity run 🏃♀️🏃♂️.
It was the perfect opportunity to combine fitness, team spirit, and supporting a meaningful cause—all in one day! 💙
A big thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making a difference. ✨
