True, even a two DOF system can exhibit chaotic behavior, and a single cell is an at least an ~10^7 DOF system (i.e., protein molecules per cell). I still fail to properly convey to others the insane complexity I see in our microscopes, and why successes like AlphaFold only work because of the huge number of unnatural constraints placed on the training data. Case in point (below): lysosome dynamics over 12 min across a 200 x 70 um region in the head of a developing zebrafish embryo, color-coded by depth -- just one of 20k proteins at work. Our Cell Observatory Initiative is more important than ever, but while we have petabytes of the most mind-blowing data ever, we are still hamstrung by insufficient AI talent and compute -- two resources in great demand everywhere. If anyone can help us over this hurdle, we'd be eternally grateful.

This year, the the EPFL-WISH Foundation is honoring Rose Mutiso, a Kenyan scientist, engineer and social entrepreneur whose focus is on the energy transition in Africa. She will give a lecture on campus on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. go.epfl.ch/09251e

1/13 🧵 Today, Bindcraft was published in @Nature , one of the most famous AIs in biology for designing protein–protein interactions (PPI). In my opinion. Bindcraft represents one of the most important advances in the post–AlphaFold2 era.

WORK! My lab currently have 5 (!) open positions for postdocs/PhD students for: -Nanopore protein sequencing -Archaeal CDV cell division -Microfluidics for synthetic cells -Nuclear Pore Complex -Origami mimics of peroxisomes Please apply! ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ RT=👍

Can AI-powered microscopes detect protein aggregation before it’s even visible? Turns out, they can! Check out our paper: "Self-Driving Microscopy Detects the Onset of Protein Aggregation and Enables Intelligent Brillouin Imaging" nature.com/articles/s4146…

@igordownunder @Andres_2DMat @TMOS_ARC You should come to Lausanne Igor would be nice to host you

Spending the day at @Andres_2DMat empire.... #2Dmaterials. @TMOS_ARC

@SabinaCaneva @tudelftme Congrats

🎉 Happy to share that I am continuing my academic journey as Associate Professor at @tudelftme!🌷 😊 Thanks to my wonderful lab group, friends, colleagues and collaborators for the interesting science and great times. 🌊 Let the creative juices and nanofluids keep flowing!

Today, we had the chance to attend an IMX Colloquium by Prof. Kislon Voïtchovsky from @durham_uni. Many thanks for his insightful presentation entitled "Probing the nanoscale structure and dynamics or solid-liquid interfaces: from minerals to complex biological membranes"

The SNSF applauds the conclusion of the negotiations with the EU. Researchers in Switzerland can participate in almost all calls for proposals in the 2025 programme year of #Horizon Europe under a transitional arrangement. ➡️ lnkd.in/dViBEy_5

The 12th International Conference of the African Materials Research Society is underway in Kigali, sponsored by MARVEL. Here are photos from @nicola_marzari' s plenary talk, and from a panel on advancing gender equity in African research. Read more africanmrs.net/rwanda-2024/

Le FNS salue l’avancée des négociations entre la #Suisse et l’EU,  qui devraient se conclure d’ici la fin 2024. Une participation complète à #HorizonEurope est cruciale pour le développement scientifique et économique de la Suisse. 🇨🇭 🇪🇺 ➡️ sohub.io/kmza 📸 ©@EDA_DFAE

@mpicbg @PavelTomancak Congrats

We welcome new research group leader Michael Weber, who will build up his group “Nanoscale Optical Bioimaging" @mpicbg! mpi-cbg.de/news-outreach/…

Honoured to be awarded the SNSF Starting Grant!🎉 Congratulations to my colleagues who also received the award @TrackingActions @camille_goemans @pschwllr

Congratulations to @EPFL_en professors @andras_ks, Edoardo Charbon & Tobias Kippenberg - each contributors to one of the 57 projects that have received funding from @ERC_Research "to tackle major scientific challenges"! #ERCSyG actu.epfl.ch/news/three-sti…

Nathan Ronceray from Laboratory of Nanoscale Biology, EPFL @LabRadenovic won the best young researcher oral presentation award 'Multiplexed lifetime imaging of single molecules with a gated single-photon camera' at #S3IC2024. This price was also sponsored by @CSB_Journal which we thank again! Congratulations @NRonceray! #S3IC2024 #nanosystems #singlemolecule #PremC #conference #Paris

At @S3IC_Conference, Paris this year presenting ongoing work. @LabRadenovic is well represented by @HelenaMiljkovic (speaking on SICS sensing of aptamers) and @NRonceray (lifetime imaging) and Aleksandra on gating of biopores. Come say hi if you are around!

We recently held the final conference of the MPI-EPFL center for molecular nanoscience & technology, with superinsipiring talks. A big thanks to K. Kern and T. Rizzo for their leadership through the years! Also big thanks @LingenfelderLAB and K. Kuhnke for their decisive roles!
