Taking care of Electron Microscopy @mpibp.bsky.social. Yay for #cryoEM and #cryoET ❄️🔬but frozen is not always better. Also, #viruses 🦠 rule.

Sub-cellular chemical mapping using correlated cryogenic electron and mass spectrometry imaging
online @natmethods.nature.com, led by Hannah Ochner, collaboration with @catfranco.bsky.social and @kiranrpatil.bsky.social labs

If it fits, it sits, #cryoEM version.
Rear door of Krios at @mpibp.bsky.social has a cat flap now🚪
Better vitrification = better cryo-ET.
We've opened an RFA for two-year grants to advance vitrification techniques for biological samples—welcoming applications from researchers in heat transfer, cryogenics, and materials science.

Excited to see POPSICLE out! 🍦 A combined benchmark for cryoET and evaluations with common segmentation models. Find the full dataset here: huggingface.co/datasets/bio...
If you love phages and CryoEM, the deadline to apply for a PhD studentship in my lab is 8th June!
PhD: defended ✅🎉 My work used in situ cryo-ET #teamtomo to investigate cellular machines from ribosome translation and HIV capsid at the nuclear pore to membrane association of vault, and the molecular architecture of heterochromatin. Huge thanks to @becklab.bsky.social. What a wonderful ride!
Video
@mgflast.bsky.social showing us how to do cellular structural biology on easymode thanks to his collection of pretrained nets 😎
Particularly cool: he demonstrates custom tomo picking workflows e.g. yTuRC at the minus end of MTs, restricting picks to specific cellular compartments
Check it out!
Komm’ am 12. Juni auf die Night of Science✨! Erlebe, wie aus Stickstoff leckeres Eis🍦wird und welche Aufgaben verschiedene Proteine in unserem Körper übernehmen! Erfahre in Vorträgen und bei einer Elektronenmikroskopie-Tour 🔬 mehr über unsere Forschung! Infos: 👉 www.biophys.mpg.de/de/night-of-...
