"Excited" to commission the iFLM microscope on our Aquilos 2 @humantechnopole.bsky.social Bringing some colors in an otherwise grey landscape 😆 This will greatly boost our CLEM workflows!

A real milestone for the local community, today we celebrate the beginning of service provision by @humantechnopole.bsky.social National Facility for Structural Biology. Lucky to have a smiling @luigiscietti.bsky.social (in pic with our Gaetano D'Urso) from IEO as first user to the Cryo-EM Unit.

Towards community-driven visual proteomics with large-scale cryo-electron tomography of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

In situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has emerged as the method of choice to investigate structures of biomolecules in their native context. However, challenges remain in the efficient production...

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

This scheme shows the cargo adaptor FHF in the middle with arrows pointing to distinct microtubule and actin-based motors (dynein-dynactin, KIFC1, KIF1C and myosins V, IX and X as well as Tropomyosin 1). It also shows a link to Rab5 marked early endosomes. The hypothesis is that FHF coordinates multi motor binding at the early stages of endocytosis. The PhD project would address the hierarchy of motor binding and how these motors coordinate to allow the newly formed vesicle to transition from the actin to MT cytoskeletal network.
