After years parked at a Polara, I’m excited to share that my PhD work is finally out! We figured out why imaging at liquid helium temperatures wasn’t working—and how to fix it.

The physical limit in determining the atomic structure of biological molecules is
radiation damage. In electron cryomicroscopy, there have been num...
Really happy to see the work (doi.org/10.1038/s414...) published. Here, we show the full-length helical cryo-EM structure of p62/SQSTM1 and first cryo-ET visual of p62 positive structures inside the cell.
We are looking for a team leader to join the cryo-EM facility work at the new Ernst Ruska-Centre 2.0 at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. We have a series of microscopes used by (@irene-vercellino.bsky.social, Schröder, @sachsegroup.bsky.social) and external users.

In ATG5 KD conditions, p62 wraps around lipid droplets including Ca-rich layer revealed by EDX spectroscopy. Early visual of autophagy - Thanks to Sabrina, Lisa, Alex, Siavash and everyone involved including our collaborators Natalia Kononenko, Rafal Dunin-Borkowski and @degradomics.bsky.social
Our first post on blue: grad student Philipp's software: for those interested in looking at membrane reconstitution by cryo-EM. Automated analysis of lipid fine structure and membrane shape classifications: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
Excited to share that I have been elected as member of the "Junge Kolleg" of the Nordrhein-Westfalian Academy of Sciences and Arts. I am honoured to have this opportunity to serve the community! Here's the link to the announcement, unfortunately only in German www.awk.nrw/news/nachwuc...
Philipp's manuscript on our CryoVIA toolkit www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... is out! For those interested in studying protein lipid interactions and high-throughput analysis of membrane structures (sizes, shapes, curvature etc.) - this could be your tool (github.com/philipp-scho...).
Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) at Forschungszentrum Jülich houses some of the world`s most advanced electron microscopes and tools for nanocharacterisation. U...
