Congratulations to Camille and @alinapi.bsky.social !
Great Paper about light harvesting in proton pumping opsins!
Amazing! Congratulation Zoe 💪🥳this great application of #BiPOLES and a really cool paper👍
Four years ago, the red-light–activated channelrhodopsin #Chrimson restored basic vision in a blind patient. Here, we uncover its #multicolor_photoreactions and show implications for optogenetic applications. Many interesting details and a wonderful team🥳! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
🚨We have an open position in the lab for the engineering of new #optogenetic tools for light control of #subcellular biology!💡🧠🔬 Interested? Get in touch or apply 👍
