Structural biologist in Susan Rooijakkers’ group at Utrecht University Medical Center. I use cryo-EM and functional assays to understand bacterial response to the innate immune system. I’m also a husband, daddy, and cook.
Exciting news for the EM community in the Netherlands!
Very happy that NWO supports this major upgrade of our national EM infrastructure. It is great that this initiative got broad support all over NL, and it will EMPower fantastic science - looking forward to that!

Researchers say they've identified the pathogen behind one of the world’s biggest disease outbreaks: a wasting disease that affected billions of sea stars from Alaska to California. via @kuow.org
Scientists crack the case of the melting sea stars. It only took a decade
Researchers in Washington and British Columbia say they have solved a deadly mystery that has stumped scientists for more than a decade.

Speak up to prevent a major loss for the field. CASP, which helped shaping structural biology including AlphaFold is on the verge of shutting down. NIH funding has lapsed, UC Davis support ends and the core team is being let go. Painfully shortsighted.
Exclusive: Famed protein structure competition nears end as NIH grant money runs out
