@De_Biasio_group @BriolaGiusy Congratulations Giusy!

We celebrate our star PhD student, @BriolaGiusy, who successfully defended her thesis on the ‘Structure of the human alternative clamp loader CTF18-RFC bound to PCNA.’ We wish her continued success in her future endeavors.

I'm doing a Webinar on the 24th. Come join, it will be fun.

@CNIOStopCancer is recruiting 2 new Junior group leaders Interested in developing your research line in AI applied to structural biology, protein design, drug discovery, Big Data, etc.? This is a great opportunity to start your lab! DM for more info cnio.es/empleo/junior-…

We are so grateful and honored to receive a generous gift from Love, Tito’s — the philanthropic heart of @TitosVodka — through @TXAMFoundation specifically to support our phage therapy research!! @AgriLife @TAMUBCBP agrilifetoday.tamu.edu/2024/06/26/lov…

Are you in the area of beautiful Bellinzona? Join us for a workshop on June 6! We will freeze forward and look at what's next for EM in the region! Bonus: @BolandLab_GE will present his latest research. #CryoEM Register here: tinyurl.com/2vfm5e25 bit.ly/4bQArtJ

I'm looking for 3 people to join me as we build a new team @SCMICryoEM. The roles span all aspects of cryo-EM and will be user facing but I hope the expansion will also mean there is time for developing the facility and making sure we are wringing the most out of all our kit.

Some articles are just articles and others hold a lot of heart. It is with a lot of pride (and some trepidation) that I share my first article from the @VIBImagingCore. It was fun to work on this with @SasLippens! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jm…

🔬Following the huge success of #BCI2024 and the @ccpem spring symposium, I’ve received a lot of enquiries about upcoming #cryoEM #cryoET courses and workshops at @eBIC_Diamond 📢Check out our upcoming community training events here: diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Bi…

Congrats to @thermofisher ‘s Alan Boswell on receiving the well-deserved lifetime achievement award 🥇 for his outstanding contributions to #CryoEM ! 🔬❄️🛠️A huge thank you from all of us @eBIC_Diamond @DiamondILO @uniofleicester @MRC_LMB @BirkbeckUoL @Astbury_BSL @RosFrankInst

Check out our latest preprint! We use #CryoEM continuous heterogeneity analysis to model how ATP-hydrolysis triggers structural changes in an AAA+ helicase that drive DNA unwinding – a fundamental step in replication! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #CryoEM #DNAReplication @structurabio
