Big news for correlative cryogenic SMLM/ET! With my colleague Soheil, we (Mahamid and @jonasries.bsky.social labs) indicate lamella-specific illumination can allow 500-1500x higher laser intensities, opening massive new possibilities for correlative imaging #teamtomo

First steps into cryo-lamella imaging by cryo-secondary ion mass spectrometry using helium and neon ion microscopy! We look forward to continuing with correlative cryo-EM-SIMS. Great work: Antje Biesemeier and colleagues - Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Our latest preprint is now available doi.org/10.1101/2025...! Led by my postdoc, Luqiang Guo @luqiang.bsky.social, we determined a ~2.4 A resolution structure of the hantavirus glycoprotein tetramer on the surface of VLPs. Also determined structures of dimers of tetramers and Fab-bound tetramers.

Happy to see the preprint of our VULCROM setup online! Thanks to our amazing collaborators we've managed to get some pretty cool cryo-CLEM images by combining cryo super-resolution and cryo-ET: doi.org/10.64898/202...

Excited to advertise a fully funded PhD with @socialinfluenza.bsky.social investigating how influenza virus evolution differs between different avian hosts (and how this impacts pandemic potential). Joint between @pirbrightinst.bsky.social + @cvrinfo.bsky.social

We found a viral Trojan Horse: a virus can hide inside another virus.This one surprised us: deltaviruses donāt just borrow a helper virus. They can travel inside it.
A literal Trojan Horse āvirus-in-a-virusā route into cells. š¤Æ Kudos to 1st author @viroscope.bsky.social and co-authors !
