@EMBLHamburg @embl @CssbHamburg @AllUNeedIsLoew @SPC_EMBL_HH @uni_greifswald @RTG2719_PRO @harbor_unihh @s_niebling It is always a pleasure to show what we do.

We are delighted to host PhD. candidates from Uni Greifswald, who are visiting EMBL Hamburg, CSSB & HARBOR for their retreat today. After an introduction to structural biology at EMBL Hamburg, they visited research facilities and learned about services available to users.

Happy International Women's Day from the amazing women of EMBL Hamburg! Today and every day, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in science. 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬👩‍🔬👩‍🔬👩‍🔬 #IWD2023 #WomenInScience #WomenOfEMBL #WomenInSTEM

Meet Isabel Bento from Portugal, Staff Scientist at EMBL Hamburg. She is a crystallographer and studies enzymes for greener biotechnology. Since her childhood, she’s been fascinated by violin. “In hands of a skilled player, it can sound even diabolic,” she said.

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve included the Creoptix WAVEsystem as part of our molecular biophysics platform setup at EMBL Hamburg. We’re excited to start using the latest binding kinetics & GCI technology in our daily projects ! Thanks @creoptix for a great training!

We have a new tool for analyzing DLS available on our eSPC server 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Visit ➡️spc.embl-Hamburg.de

Need no microscope to see those #rhodopsin crystals :) First time measuring crystal size with an ordinary ruler, too :)

📢 Our latest collaboration with UKE and among showing how structural conformations of Shank2 protein variants are affecting postsynaptic interactions towards neural disorders 🧠🔎 @UKEHamburg @embl @EMBLHamburg @CssbHamburg @unihh More below 👇🏽 doi.org/10.1038/s41380…

So tiny movements of single atoms can only be seen with crystallography. Our users are able to detect them thanks to the versatility of the EMBL Hamburg beamline P14 combined with the high quality of the samples they prepared.
