Congratulations to Gautam Dey (EMBL) and Omaya Dudin (University of Geneva) for being awarded the EMBO Gold Medal 2026 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the #LifeSciences in Europe! 🧪 https://www.embo.org/press-releases/embo-gold-medal-2026-awarded-to-gautam-dey-and-omaya-dudin/
Congratulations to Mariia for her presentation prize! 🥳🥳
Proud! 🥹
Oh no it's that time again ....
Rererererereprocess!
Can't wait to try it !
Multinucleate cells challenge deeply-held assumptions about complexity, ecological success and evolution. Postdoc extraordinaire and gifted writer @mrosjac.bsky.social tackles this subject with aplomb - tell us what you think!

Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->
MissAlignment is out!!! Our new software that improves reference-free tilt series alignment by mimicking human intuition. Check out Dimitry's beautiful thread for a quick summary!
And the preprint for more details: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

1/ Excited to share our preprint! 🥳
Degradation of aromatic compounds, including BTEX pollutants, requires highly endergonic aromatic ring reduction. Using #cryoEM and in situ #cryoET, we show how BCRII couples electron bifurcation modules in one giant redox machine

RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...
We're super excited to share MissAlignment: a new ML-based approach to reference-free tilt series alignment, spearheaded by @martenchaillet.bsky.social. We think it's going to make your cryo-ET life a lot better.

My first trip to Japan and my first presentation award!
Many thanks to the organizers, my supervisor, @florentwaltz.bsky.social, and our wonderful collaborators!
I was happy to present my work in beautiful Kagoshima🌋
