oy!, don't forget to register to the SFBS 2026 Advance workshop in super-resolution imaging!!! Cool instructors and speakers from the @bic-bordeaux.bsky.social @iins-bordeaux.bsky.social !!!
france-bioimaging.org/news-events/...
π Bordeaux is accelerating biological imaging! π§¬π¬
πΆ β¬5M invested in cutting-edge tech:
πΉ MINFLUX β track single proteins at 1β2nm, >1000 loc/sec
πΉ IMPACT β next-gen multiphoton imaging in thick tissues
Bordeaux = European hub for life science innovation! πβ¨
#BioImaging #Neuroscience
How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my paper with @wallaceucsf.bsky.social! We discovered that single cells may learn using molecules similar to those that animal brains use to learn, like CaMKII. Cells can also propagate memory states to their progeny!
Minflux is one of the technologies pushing the boundaries of what we can see in living cells - tracking single molecules at nanometer resolution in living cells. Sounds like science fiction - is actually doable @embl - come and learn more!
One, perhaps two, of our postdocs are moving on to faculty positions this year (more news soon!). While they're truly irreplaceable, it does mean that we have openings for new members to join our team studying #cilia. If interested, please apply: academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/15526
This session will showcase some really state-of-the-art imaging techniques to look at cellular architecture (@sventruckenbrodt.bsky.social) and live, contact free biomechanics (@laurabacete.bsky.social)!
