Ever wondered what happens when therapeutic antibodies bind to cancer cells? In our latest study, we used multiplexed 3D-RESI to directly visualize how anti-CD20 antibodies interact with their receptors, revealing their precise arrangement at single-protein resolution. (1/6)

Anyone from Europe wants to spend 2 years in sunny Queensland working on the global microbiome?

Get in touch (even if all you have right now is a vague idea, just email early)! We also have a lot of friends in Europe for the return phase.
