Thank you, Inês! 😀

Luciano A. Masullo @lumasullo.bsky.social · 2d

I am also very grateful to my previous mentors, Ralf Jungmann and Fernando D. Stefani, and many other amazing colleagues who have supported me throughout my career.

My research will focus on deciphering cell signaling at the molecular level by applying and developing cutting-edge super-resolution methods, with a particular emphasis on glycoimmune checkpoints, aiming to translate this knowledge into novel and improved therapies.

Thrilled to announce some big news!

Excited to share that I’ve been awarded a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award to establish my research as a Group Leader in the Glycosciences Program at the Institute of Biology and Experimental Medicine (IBYME) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, beginning in early 2026.

Within this neuronal atlas we can reveal the three synapse classes, excitatory, inhibitory and the recently discovered mixed synapse. Organelle imaging of Peroxisomes (Pmp70) and the Golgi Apparatus (Golga5) reveals rare contact sides and even fused particles. (5/6)

To show the power of the technique, we acquired a 13-plex 200 x 200 µm2 neuronal atlas in 3D. With this atlas we map the interaction architecture of three neurons, resolving organelles, cytoskeleton, vesicles and synapses at single-protein resolution. (4/6)

We demonstrate speed-optimized left-handed DNA-PAINT by characterizing the sequence binding kinetics and resolving three main microscopy benchmarking targets, mitochondria, microtubules and nuclear pore complexes with <5 nm localization precision. (3/6)

The mirrored design of left-handed oligonucleotides allows the extension of the common 6 speed-sequences R1-R6 with their analogs L1-L6, enabling 12 target multiplexing with a standard secondary label-free DNA-PAINT workflow. (2/6)

Highly efficient 12-color multiplexing with speed-optimized DNA-PAINT. We are excited to share our latest paper in @natcomms.nature.com, using left-handed DNA to extend speed-optimized DNA-PAINT to 12 targets in a simple and straightforward way! 🧬👈🚀https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-64228-x
