Dear cryo-EM women scientists, We want to honor you and your contributions at BPS 2025. This year, the Cryo-EM subgroup will honor a mid/senior-career woman scientist as the inaugural June Almeida awardee. June Almeida is the virologist who first discovered the coronavirus in 1967 using negative stain electron microscopy. Her story, like many women we know, is remarkable. womenshistory.org/education-reso… It is in the spirit of June Almeida’s innovative research that this award is named. The awardee, in addition to receiving an honorarium, will present their research at the BPS CryoEM Subgroup Symposium. The deadline for nominations for the Almeida Award is November 1st, and details of the award and the application process can be found at (biophysics.org/Awards-Funding…). Nomination packets should be sent to bps.cryo.em.subgroup@gmail.com. Questions? Contact @OliBClarke, me, @MeghnaG27 @PilarCossio2 or @10feng ♥️We sincerely hope to see you at BPS 2025 in LA to celebrate achievements and advances in cryo-EM!

@cryomariena Let’s goooo!

When @10feng mentions that the same year that the circadian rhythm control Nobel was awarded, so was another important Nobel, and you answer: Joachim! CryoEM! #alwaysinvokingJoachim #longlivecryoem

@cryomariena Thank you Mariena!

The star of the show! Many congrats and best to @10feng

Excited to share my final PostDoc work! Introducing MagIC-cryo-EM🪄 & DuSTER🧹, these methods reduce cryo-EM sample requirements (0.0005 mg/mL), enabling ALL biologists to explore the structural basis of diverse biological events! BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@FangyuWang39 is doing some exciting stuff in the Cerione Lab. Check out her #LabFeatureFriday over on our LikedIn bit.ly/4b48iiw

@sunhaifeng123 Thanks Haifeng!

Congratulations!👍

@jacqueline_ehr Thanks Jacqueline!

One of my fav proteins & the reason every time I put a new protein on a grid I secretly hope it will form a filament 🤭 Congrats Feng and the Cerione lab!

Filament formation enables cancer cells’ glutamine addiction news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/0…

We would like to thank Dr. Katherine Spoth @ktspoth and Dr. Mariena Silvestry-Ramos @cryomariena from @cornellccmr @NSF , Dr. Edward Eng @edward_eng and Kasahun Neselu @kasahunneselu from @NCCATinfo @SimonsFdn for their help with Cryo-EM. This work is supported by @NIH.

This work is a great team effort in Cerione Lab with Cody Aplin, Dr. Thuy-Tien T. Nguyen, Dr. Shawn K. Milano. Also we thank Dr. Brian Crane @BRCraneLab, Dr. Sekar Ramachandran, Samuel L. Deck and Megan Xu for their help.

Check out our latest paper about glutaminase filament on @NatureComms! In this paper, we used #CryoEM and light scattering to show that the filament formation of glutaminase is coupled with its activity. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Darren's paper on Miffi (❄️🔬MIcrograph Filtering utilizing Fourier space Information) is out! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Here is a 4-part intro in the style of the famous 🐰
