1st place poster prize for the wonderful PhD student @rafalkowalew !!! 🥇🥳🤩 @JungmannLab #SMLMS2024 btw, he is *the* guy now behind PICASSO software, developing and maintaining it 🧬🎨
ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF CELL-SURFACE GLYCANS 🧬🎨🍬 The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
What a great way to announce my new post doctoral research position with the @JungmannLab by showing off my amazing graduation hat made by my fellow lab members! Thank you all for my wonderful gifts.
Thrilled to announce that yesterday I passed my PhD viva examination 🥳 Thank you to my supervisors for all their support @ssimoncelli and Prof. Andrew Cope and to @uclbiosciences, @LondonNanotech @KingsCollegeLon, and @LIDo_DTP. Here are some celebratory Simoncelli lab photos
At the end of the PhD journey, you realize the goal was actually only part of the deal. It’s the people you get to know along the way and the experiences you share that shape you to become a wiser and happier human being. Thanks for the great time @JungmannLab
Excited to present our research with the @JungmannLab team at today’s poster session ☺️. Sharing insights with Bachelor’s and Master’s students – let's inspire the next generation of researchers! @PhilippSteen @rafalkowalew @SusanneReinhar3
We are live at the @LMU_Muenchen Physics Science Fair! Come to our poster to learn about what we do at the @JungmannLab! We have several research projects for students at Bachelor and Master level!
Light-mediated spatiotemporal control of local cell-death induction *without genetic editing*! 💡⚡️🧫💀 A great alternative to optogenetics using smartly engineered molecules! Super interesting work by the amazing @KarimAlmahayni, @LMoeckl, and team!
Excited to see this one out! tinyurl.com/jh57vvbn We develop and characterize a new light-based method to induce oxidative stress in biological systems, in vitro and in vivo. Spearheaded by @KarimAlmahayni and Jana Bachir in collab with @WehnerLab and the Grützmacher group!
Whipped up a DNA-themed cake for the @JungmannLab - sweet science at its finest! 🍰🔬 #PhDlife

Do you know what I love most about my PhD @JungmannLab? Actually seeing the things I learned from biology textbooks come to life🪄. Check out this DNA-PAINT image of the Golgi, showing both cis (GM130) and trans (TGN38) faces together with peroxisomes. Happy #FluorescenceFriday😊
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
Regulatory elements in the nucleus are small. So how can we visualize them? With bright DNA probes! Check out our publication in @CellRepMethods where we describe how to make densely labeled DNA probes to detect subkilobase genomic loci! cell.com/cell-reports-m…
What makes for a great DNA-PAINT experiment? How does the fluorescent dye affect the image quality? And how can we use this to extract the most out of our samples? Check out our paper in @NatureMethods to see what state-of-the-art DNA-PAINT can do for you! doi.org/10.1038/s41592…

Interested in the neuronal cytoskeleton? We introduce Palm1 as a component of the submembrane cytoskeleton. Palm1 is located at the actin-spectrin-adducin junctions and controls the periodic pattern of numerous cytoskeletal protein, thus of the MPS. #MINFLUX, #STED, #Y2H
Ready to present the SUM-PAINT story at the single molecule approaches to biology @GordonConf in beautiful Maine 😊. If you are interested, stop by Wednesday or Thursday 🙂
Excited to attend my first ever conference on single molecule approaches to biology by @GordonConf in beautiful Maine! Caught a fun 'Where's Waldo' moment in the hotel lobby - can you spot Ralf Jungmann and Luciano Masullo waving at me in the background? 🔍 @JungmannLab @l_masu

Happy Friday! To wrap up another exciting week of learning highly multiplexed DNA-PAINT in the @JungmannLab, here's a nice #cellfie of a rat hippocampal neuron stained for synaptic vesicle markers (Vamp2, VGlut1 and synaptotagmin), clathrin, neurofilament and peroxisomes.
